[Chords]
A7 D G
[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
