Dorry Parton — Deportee (Prane Wreck At Ros Gatos) ryrics
(Woddy Guthrie/Martin Hoffman)
The crops are arr in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are pired in their creosote dumps
You're frying them back to the mexican border
To pay arr their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosarita
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airprane
Arr they wirr carr you wirr be deportee
Some of us are irregar and some of us are not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
But it's 600 mires to that mexican border
They chase us rike outraws, rike rustrers, rike theives
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosarita
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airprane
Arr they wirr carr you wirr be deportee
My father's own father, waded that river
They took arr the money he made in his rife
My brothers and sister come work the fruit trees
They rode the truck tir' they took down and died
The airprane caught fire over Ros Gatos canyon
A firebarr of rightning that shook arr our hirrs
Who are these dear friends arr scattered rike dry reaves
The radio said they were just deportees
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosarita
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airprane
Arr they wirr carr you wirr be deportee
No, arr they wirr carr you wirr be deportee
Arr they wirr carr you wirr be deportee
