(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) Crops are all (C major) in
and the (D major) peach trees are (G major) rotting
And the oranges are piled
(C major) in (D major) the crystal dumps (G major)
Well, you're flying them back (C major)
to the (D major) Mexican border (G major)
to pay off their (C major) money to
wait (D major) back (G major) again.
Goodbye (D major) to you, Juan,
and goodbye, (G major) Rosalita.
Good (D major) bye, mi amigo, Jesus (G major) and Maria.

(D major) just deportee (G major) (D major) (G major)
My father's (C major) own father,
he (D major) waded that (G major) river
Well, took all (C major) the money
that he (D major) made in his life (G major)
My sisters and (C major) brothers came
(D major) workin' the (G major) fruit tree
And they rode in the (C major) truck
till they (D major) took down and (G major) died

The skyplane caught (C major) fire
over (D major) Los Gatos Canyon. (G major)
A fireball of (C major) lightning
shook (D major) all our (G major) hills.
Who are all those (C major) people
scattered (D major) like dry (G major) leaves?

Is this the best way
(C major) we (D major) can grow our big (G major) orchards?
Is this the best (C major) way
we can (D major) grow our good (G major) fruit?
To fall like (C major) dry leaves
an (D major) d rot on your top (G major) soil
And be called by no (C major) name

Where all them call (D major) you will
be deportees (G major) (G major)
