(G)The crops are all in and the C peaches are G rotting,    
The oranges are packed in their D creosote G dumps.    
C They're flying them back to the G Mexican border    
To save all their money and D7 wade back again.    
    
G My father's own father, he C waded that G river;    
Others before him have D done just the G same;   
C They died in the hills and they G died in the valleys,    
Some went to heaven with D7 out any G names .   
    

[Refrão]
(C) Goodbye to my Juan, good(G)bye, Rosalita,    
Adios, D mis amigos D7 Jesus y G Maria.   
C You won't have a name when you G ride the big airplane.    
All they will call you will D7 be "deportee." (G)    
    
G Some of us are illegal and C others not G wanted;    
Our work contract's out and we D have to move G on.   
C Six hundred miles to the G Mexican border    
They chase us like outlaws, like D7 rustlers, like G thieves.    
    
Chorus   
    
(Chorus Instrumental)    
    
G The sky plane caught fire over C Los Gatos G Canyon,    
A fireball of thunder that D shook all our G hills.    
C Who are all these dear friends G scattered like dry leaves?    
The radio said they were D7 just deportees. G    
       
Adios, mi Juan, adios, Rosalita,   {Goodbye, my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita.  
Adios, mis amigos Jesus y Maria. {Goodbye, my friends Jesus and Maria}  
No tiene su nombre con grande airplano.  {You don't have your name on the big airplane.}  
All they will call you will be "deportee."
