    C                        F           C
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting,
    C                           F        C
The oranges are packed in their creosote dumps.
        F                      C
They're flying 'em back to the Mexico border
   C                       F          C     Csus4   C
To take all their money to wade back again.

Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita,

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria.

All they will call you will be   "deportees."

My father's own father, he waded that river.
     C                     F           C
They took all the money he made in his life.
   F                         C
My brothers and sisters came workin' the fruit trees,
     C                              F             C     Csus4   C
They rode the big trucks 'till they laid down and died.

The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
  C                            F             C
A fireball of lightnin' an' it shook all the hills.
F                               C
Who are these comrades, they're dying like the dry leaves?
    C                        F         C     Csus4   C
The radio tells me, "They're just deportees."
 
 
[verse 4]
   C                         F            C
We died in your hills and we died in your deserts,
   C                        F            C
We died in your valleys, we died in your plains.
   F                             C
We died 'neath your trees and we died 'neath your bushes,
     C                     F             C     Csus4   C
Both sides of the river we died just the same.

All they will call you will be   "deportees."

   C                        F            C
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
   C                        F             C
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
   F                           C
To die like the dry leaves and rot on my topsoil
    C                     F          C     Csus4   C
And be known by no name except "deportee."

All they will call you will be   "deportees."
