Song 9

Do Re Me (live): Ani DiFranco ---1937

Another Woody song... at least someone else sings this one. What the heck is the 'do re me'??? Do as in "doe"? Are they talking about having money to survive if you leave to escape the dust bowl? It is told as the person is experiencing it. They left to get away from the dust bowl, but it doesn't sound like there is alot of hope in California if you don't have any moolah.
Each verse kind of just says the same thing in another way. Basically, without money, you are screwed. Not an uncommon story in American history.
