Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)
Lyrics
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are packed in their creosote dump
They're flying them back to that Mexican border
To spend all the money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
And all they will call you will be deportee
Some of us are illegal and some are unwanted
Our work contract's out and we've got to move on
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
And all they will call you will be deportee
The sky plane fought fire over Los Gatos Canyon
A fireball of lightning that shook all our hills
Who are all these friends who was gathered like dry leaves?
The radio says they were just deportees
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
And all they will call you will be deportee
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
And all they will call you will be deportee
