Dear Oakie - Jack Rivers
Lyrics by:DR
Dear Okie if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Pickin' up prunes squeezin' oil out of olives
Dear Okie if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Rakin' up gold playing fiddle in the Follies
Now he'll be lucky if he finds a place to live
But there's orange juice fountains flowing for those kids of his
So dear Okie if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Diggin' oil wells all he needs is a shovel
Dear Okie if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Taking out room
Oh no
Squeezin' oil out of olives
My dear Okie if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Rakin' up gold
Oh no playing fiddle in the Follies
Now he'll be lucky if he finds a place to live
But there's orange juice fountains flowing for those kids of his
Dear Okie if you see Arkie
Tell 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy
Diggin' oil wells
Why you get it all
He needs is a shovel
