|
The crops are all in |
|
And the peaches are rotting |
|
The oranges piled up |
|
In their creosote dumps |
|
You're flying 'em back |
|
To the Mexican border |
|
To spend all their money |
|
To wade back again{ |
|
Chorus}:Good bye to my |

JuanGoodbye |
|
RosalitaAdios mis amigos |
|
Jesus y Maria |
|
You won't have a name |
|
When you ride the big airplane |
|
All they will call you |
|
Will be "deportees" |
|
Some of us are illegal |
|
And others not wanted |
|
Our work contract's up |
|
And we have to move on600 miles to that |
|
Mexican border |
|
They chase us like outlaws |
|
Like rustlers, like thieves{ |
|
Chorus}The skyplane caught fire |
|
Over Los Gatos |
|
CanyonA fireball of lightning |
|
Shook all our hills |
|
Who are all these friends |
|
Who are scattered like dried leaves |
|
The radio said |
|
They were just "deportees"{ |
|
Chorus}{Repeat} |
