Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)

Lyrics

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
