G
The crops are all in
C
G
and the peaches are rottening
The oranges are piled
D

in their creosote dumps
C
You're flying them back
G
to the Mexican border
It takes all their money
D
G
to wait back again
C

Goodbye to my one, goodbye Rosalita

D
G
Adios, mis amigos, Jesús y María
C
You won't have a name
G
when you ride the big airplane
D
All they will call you will be
G
D
G
deportees
My father's own father,
C
G
he waded that river
They took all the money
D
G
he made in his life
C
My sisters and brothers
G
come work in the fruit fields
D
Rode that truck till they went
G
C
down and died
G
Some of us are illegal

and others not wanted
Our work contract's out
D

and we have to move on
C

600 miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like rustlers,

goodbye Rosalita
C
You won't have a name
G
when you ride the big airplane
For all they will call you will

The skyplane caught fire over
C
G
Los Gatos Canyon
A fireball of lightning
D
G
and shook all our hills
C
Who are all these dear friends
G
all scattered like dry leaves?
D
G
The radio says they are just deportees
Is this the best way
C
G
we can raise our good archers?
Is this the best way
D
G
we can grow our good crops?
C
To die and be scattered,
G
to rot on the topsoil
To be called by no name
D
G
except deportee
C
G
Goodbye to my one, goodbye Rosalita
D
G
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
C
You won't have a name
G
when you ride the big airplane
D
All they will call you will be deportees
