D G D The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting G D The oranges are packed in their creosote dumps G D Bm They're flying 'em back to that Mexico border D G D To take all their money to wade back a gain D G D My father's own father, he waded that river G D They took all the money he made in his life G D Bm My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees D G D They rode the big trucks till they lay down and died
Chorus
G D Good bye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita A D Adi os mis amigos, Je sus y Maria G D Bm You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D G D And all they will call you will be depor tee
Verse
D G D Some of us are illegal, and all are not wanted G D Our work contract's out and we've got to move on G D Bm Six hundred miles to that Mexican border D G D They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves D G D We died in your hills, we died in your deserts G D We died in your armies, we died on your plains G D Bm We died 'neath your trees and we died 'neath those bushes D G D Both sides of that river, we died just the same
Chorus
D G D The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon G D Like a fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills G D Bm Who are all these friends, dying like dry leaves? D G D The radio says they are just depor tees
Verse
D G D Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? G D Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit? G D Bm To fall like dry leaves and rot on my topsoil D G D And be known by no name ex cept depor tee
Chorus
D G D The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon G D Like a fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills G D Bm Who are all these friends, dying like dry leaves? D G D The radio says they are just depor tees
