Well thousands of folks back east they say
Are leaving home most everyday
They're beating the hot old dusty way
To the California line
Across the desert sands they roll
Getting outta that old dust bowl
They think they're going to a sugar bowl
But here is what they find
Oh the police at the port of entrance say
