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 suckers

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.

(Rudy Sooter / Doye O'Dell)
