[tab]
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting[/tab]
[tab]
The oranges are packed in their creosote green[/tab]

Your flying them back to the Mexican border[/tab]
[tab]
To spend all their money to wade back again[/tab]

Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[/tab]

You won t have a name when you ride the big airplane[/tab]
[tab]
And all they will call you will be deportee[/tab]
[tab]
Some of us are illegal and others not wanted[/tab]
[tab]
Our work contracts out and we have to move on[/tab]
[tab]
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border[/tab]
[tab]
They chase us like outlaws like rustlers and thieves[/tab]
[tab]
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[/tab]
[tab]
You won t have a name when you ride the big airplane[/tab]
[tab]
And all they will call you will be deportee[/tab]

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon[/tab]
[tab]
A fireball of lightning it shook all our hills[/tab]
[tab]
Who are all these firends who are scattered like dry leaves[/tab]
[tab]
The radio said they were just deportees[/tab]
[tab]
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[/tab]

You won t have a name when you ride the big airplane[/tab]
[tab]
And all they will call you will be deportee[/tab]
