Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos) Lyrics

(Woodie Guthrie, M. Hoffman)

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotten
The oranges are packed in the creosote dumps
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To save all their money, then wade back again
My Father's own Father, he waded that river
Others before him have done just the same
They died in the hills and they died in the valley
Some went to heaven without any name

Refrain:
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be, deportee

-Solo-

Some of us are illegal and other's not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
Six hundred miles to the Mexican border
They chase us like rustlers, like cowboys, like thieves

Refrain:

-Solo-

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
A fireball of thunder that shook all the hills
Who are all of these dear friends, scattered like dry leaves
The radio says, they were just deportees

Refrain: 2x
