Verse 1
D G D The crops are all in, the peaches are rotting D A7 D The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps G D They're flying you back to the Mexico border D A7 D To pay all your money, to wade back again D G D My Father's own father, he waded that river D A7 D They took all the money he made in his life G D My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees D A7 D They rode the truck till they took down and died
Chorus
G D Goodbye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita A7 D Adios mi amigos, Jesus and Maria G D You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D A7 D All they will call you will be deportees
Verse 2
D G D Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted D A7 D Our work contracts out and we have to move on G D Six hundred miles to the Mexico border D A7 D They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves D G D We died in your hills, we died in your deserts D A7 D We died in your valleys, and died on your plains G D We died 'neath your trees, and we died in your bushes D A7 D Both sides of the river, we died just the same
Chorus
G D Goodbye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita A7 D Adios mi amigos, Jesus and Maria G D You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D A7 D All they will call you will be deportees
Verse 3
D G D The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon D A7 A fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills G D D Who are these friends, all scattered like dry leaves? D A7 D The radio says they are just deportees D G D Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? D A7 D Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit? G D To fall like like dry leaves, to rot on my topsoil D A7 D And to be called no name, except deportee.
Chorus
G D Goodbye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita A7 D Adios mi amigos, Jesus and Maria G D You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D A7 D All they will call you will be deportees
