Hank Thompson - Dear Okie lyrics

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 Sellin' used cars, just a-waitin' for the s**ers Dear Okie, if you see Arkie Tell 'im Tex 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 'im Tex got a job for him out in Californy Pickin' up prunes, squeezin' oil out of olives
