Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Johnny Cash] The crops are all in and the peaches are rotten The oranges are all packed in the creosote dumps They're flying them back to the Mexican Border To save all their money, and wade back again [Verse 2: Johnny Rodriguez] My father's own father, he waded that river Others before him have done just the same They died in the hills and they died in the valley Some went to heaven without any name [Chorus: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Rodriguez] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be "deportee" [Verse 3: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson] Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted Our work contract's out and we have to move on Six-hundred miles to the Mexican Border They chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves [Chorus: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Rodriguez] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be "deportee" [Verse 4: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson] The sky-plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon A fireball a thunder, it shook all the hills Who are all these dear friends, scattered like dry leaves? The radio said they were just deportees [Chorus: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Johnny Rodriguez] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita (Adios a mi Juan, adios Rosalita) Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria (Adios a mi amigo, Jesus y Maria) You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane (No tendrá un nombre en el aeroplano) All they will call you will be "deportee" (Le llamarán serán "deportee") [Outro: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Johnny Rodriguez] Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita (Adios a mi Juan y adios Rosalita) Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria (Adios a mi amigo, Jesus y Maria) You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane (No tendrá un nombre en el aeroplano) All they will call you will be "deportee" (Le llamarán serán va a hacer "deportee")
