Oh, Welcome to Californi
AmDE
Where the friendly farmer will take care of yo
Come labor for your mother, your father and your brothe
For your sister and your lover, bracer
Come pick the fruit of yellow, break the flower from the berr
Purple grapes will fill your belly, bracer
Oh, Welcome to Californi
Where the friendly farmer will take care of yo
And the sun will bite your body, as the dust will draw you thrist
While your muscles beg for mercy, bracer
In the shade of your sombrero, drop your sweat upon the soi
Like the fruit your youth can spoil, bracer
Oh, Welcome to Californi
Where the friendly farmer will take care of yo
When the weary night embraces, sleep in shacks that could be cage
They will take it from your wages, bracer
Come sing about tomorrow with a jingle of the dolla
And forget your crooked collar, bracer
Oh, Welcome to Californi
Where the friendly farmer will take care of yo
And the local men are lazy, and they make too much of troubl
Besides we'd have to pay the double, bracer
But if you feel you're fallin', if you find the pace is killin
There are others who are willing, bracer
Oh, Welcome to Californi
Where the friendly farmer will take care of you
