Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy Rakin' up gold, playin' 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 him Texas got a job for him out in Californy Diggin' oil wells, all he needs is a shovel Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy Sellin' used cars, just a-waitin' for a sucker Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy Handin' out checks as a welfare worker If he takes the freeway to the grocery store He'll make it fine if he starts out the day before Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell him Texas got a job for him out in Californy Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
