Verse 1. GThe crops are all in and the pCeaches are roGtt'ning,
The oranges piled in their creCosote duGmps;
They're flCying 'em back to the MGexican border
To pay all their money to wCade back agGain
GMy father's own father, he wCaded that riGver,
They took all the money he mCade in his lGife;
My brCothers and sisters come wGorking the fruit trees,
And they rode on the trucks till they tCook down and diGed.
Chorus. GoodbCye to my Juan, goodbGye, Rosalita,
AdiDos mis amigos, JeGsus y Maria;
You wCon't have your names when you rGide the big airplane,
All they will call you will Cbe "deportGees"
Verse 2. GSome of us are illegal, and sCome are not wGanted,
Our work contract's out and we hCave to move oGn;
SCix hundred miles to that MGexican border,
They chase us like outlaws, like ruCstlers, like thGieves.
GWe died in your hills, we diCed in your deseGrts,
We died in your valleys and diCed on your plaGins.
We diCed 'neath your trees and we dGied in your bushes,
Both sides of the river, we dCied just the saGme.
Chorus. GoodbCye to my Juan, goodbGye, Rosalita,
AdiDos mis amigos, JeGsus y Maria;
You wCon't have your names when you rGide the big airplane,
All they will call you will Cbe "deportGees"
Verse 3. TGhe sky plane caught fire over LCos Gatos CGanyon,
A fireball of lightning, it shoCok all our hGills,
Who aCre all these friends, all scaGttered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are jCust deportGees"
GIs this the best way we can gCrow our big orcGhards?
Is this the best way we can gCrow our good frGuit?
To faCll like dry leaves to rGot on my topsoil
And be called by no name excCept "deporteGes"?
Chorus. GoodbCye to my Juan, goodbGye, Rosalita,
AdiDos mis amigos, JeGsus y Maria;
You wCon't have your names when you rGide the big airplane,
All they will call you will Cbe "deportGees"
Chorus. GoodbCye to my Juan, goodbGye, Rosalita,
AdiDos mis amigos, JeGsus y Maria;
You wCon't have your names when you rGide the big airplane,
All they will call you will Cbe "deportGees"
Yes, all they will call you wCill be "deGportees" G C
