Lyrics

[Verse 1] The crops are all in, and the peaches are rotting The oranges are pilled in the creosote dumps They're flying us back to the Mexico border To pay all our money to wade back again [Chorus] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No, all they will call you will be 'Deportee' [Verse 2] Now my father's own father, he waded that river They took all the money he made in his lifе Six-hundred miles to the Mеxico border They chased us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves [Chorus] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No, all they will call you will be 'Deportee' [Verse 3] The sky-bird caught fire, over Los Gatos Canyon A big ball of fire, it shook all the ground Who are these friends, who are falling like dry leaves The radio said they're just deportees [Chorus] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No, all they will call you will be 'Deportee' [Verse 4] But we died in your hills, and we died in your valleys We died in your orchards, we died on your plains We died on your deserts, we died in your treetops Both sides of the river, we died just the same [Chorus] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane No, all they will call you will be 'Deportee'
