From Woody Guthrie’s dong Do Re Mi....

Don’t swap your old cow for a car,
You better stay right where you are,
Better take this little tip to you from me.

‘Cause I look through the want ads every day
But the headlines on the papers always say:
If you ain’t got the do re mi, boys, you ain’t got the do re mi,
Why, you better go back to beautiful
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;

But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot
If you ain’t got the do re mi.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

What happened to “From West Virginie they came to stay / In sunny Cal-a-for-ni-A”?

I've never heard anyone call theirs that. Usually it's Mr. Johnson.
