G C G
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
D G
The oranges are packed in the creoste dumps
C G
They're flying them back to the Mexican border
D7
To save all their money and wade back again
G C G
My father's own father he waded that river
D G
Others before him have done just the same
C G
They died in the hills and they died in the valleys
D7 G
Some went to heaven with out any names
[Chorus]
C G
Goodbye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita
D D7 G
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria
C G
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
D7 G
All they will call you will be.....Deportee
G C G
Some of us are illegal and others not wanted
D G
Our work contracts out and we have to move on
C G
Six hundred miles to the Mexican border
D7 G
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
C G
Goodbye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita
D D7 G
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria
C G
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
D7 G
All they will call you will be.....Deportee
[Instrumental]
G C G
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
D G
A fireball of thunder that shook all the hills
C G
Who are all these dear friends scattered like dry leaves
D7 G
The radio said they were just...Deportees
