Deportees - Arlo Guthrie (阿洛·古利)[00:00:00]

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting[00:00:05]

The oranges are piled in their cresote dumps[00:00:11]

They're flying you back to the Mexico border[00:00:17]

To pay all your money to wade back again[00:00:22]

My father's own father he wanted that river[00:00:28]

They took all the money he made in his life[00:00:35]

My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees[00:00:41]

And they rode the truck till they took down and died[00:00:46]

Good-bye to my Juan good-bye Rosalita[00:00:52]

Adios mis amigos Jesus y Maris[00:00:57]

You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane[00:01:02]

And all they will call you will be deportees [00:01:08]

Some of us are illega and others not wanted[00:01:16]

Our work contract's out and we have to move on[00:01:23]

But it's six hundred miles to that Mexican border[00:01:29]

They chase us like outlaws like rustlers like theives [00:01:34]

We died in your hills we died in your deserts[00:01:40]

We died in your valleys and died on your plains[00:01:46]

We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes[00:01:52]

Both sides of the river we died just the same [00:01:57]

Good-bye to my Juan good-bye Rosalita[00:02:03]

Adios mis amigos Jesus y Maris[00:02:08]

You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane[00:02:13]

And all they will call you will be deportees [00:02:19]

A sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon[00:02:27]

Like a fireball of lightning it shook all our hills[00:02:33]

Who are all these friends all scattered like dry leaves [00:02:40]

The radio says they are just deportees [00:02:45]

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards [00:02:51]

Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit [00:02:57]

To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil[00:03:03]

And be called by no name except deportees [00:03:08]

Good-bye to my Juan good-bye Rosalita[00:03:14]

Adios mis amigos Jesus y Maris[00:03:19]

You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane[00:03:24]

And all they will call you will be deportees[00:03:30]
