Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos) |
| The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting |
| The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps |
| You’re flying them back to the mexican border |
| To pay all their money to wade back again |
| Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita |
| Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria |
| You won’t have a name when you ride the big airplane |
| All they will call you will be deportee |
| Some of us are illegal and some of us are not wanted |
| Our work contract’s out and we have to move on |
| But it’s 600 miles to that mexican border |
| They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like theives |
| Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita |
| Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria |
| You won’t have a name when you ride the big airplane |
| All they will call you will be deportee |
| My father’s own father, waded that river |
| They took all the money he made in his life |
| My brothers and sister come work the fruit trees |
| They rode the truck til' they took down and died |
| The airplane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon |
| A fireball of lightning that shook all our hills |
| Who are these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves |
| The radio said they were just deportees |
| Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita |
| Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria |
| You won’t have a name when you ride the big airplane |
| All they will call you will be deportee |
| No, all they will call you will be deportee |
| All they will call you will be deportee |
