Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos) (LP Version) - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]
Written by:Martin Hoffman/Woody Guthrie[00:00:02]
The crops are all in[00:00:05]
And the peaches are rotting[00:00:07]
The oranges are stacked[00:00:11]
In their creosote dumps[00:00:13]
They're flying them back[00:00:17]
To that Mexico border[00:00:19]
To pay all their wages[00:00:24]
To wade back again[00:00:26]
Goodbye to you Juan goodbye Rosalina[00:00:29]
Adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[00:00:36]
You won't have a name[00:00:42]
When you ride the big airplane[00:00:44]
All they will call you[00:00:48]
Will be deportee[00:00:50]
My father's own father[00:01:00]
He waded that river[00:01:03]
They took all the money[00:01:07]
He made in his life[00:01:09]
My brothers and sisters[00:01:13]
Come working the fruit trees[00:01:15]
And they rode on the trucks[00:01:19]
'Til they took down and died[00:01:21]
Goodbye to you Juan goodbye Rosalina[00:01:25]
Adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[00:01:31]
You won't have a name[00:01:37]
When you ride the big airplane[00:01:39]
All they will call you[00:01:44]
Will be deportee[00:01:46]
Samos illegals[00:01:56]
Y mal recibidos[00:01:58]
Se a caba el contrato[00:02:02]
Y de alli a caminar[00:02:04]
Six hundred miles[00:02:07]
To that Mexico border[00:02:10]
They chase us like outlaws[00:02:14]
Like rustlers like thieves[00:02:16]
Goodbye to you Juan goodbye Rosalina[00:02:20]
Adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[00:02:25]
You won't have a name[00:02:32]
When you ride the big airplane[00:02:34]
All they will call you[00:02:38]
Will be deportee[00:02:40]
We died in your hills[00:02:50]
And we died in your deserts[00:02:52]
We died in your valleys[00:02:56]
We died on your plains[00:02:58]
We died 'neath your trees[00:03:02]
And we died in your bushes[00:03:04]
Both sides of that river[00:03:08]
We died just the same[00:03:10]
The sky plane caught fire[00:03:14]
Over Los Gatos canyon[00:03:16]
Like a fireball of lightning[00:03:20]
And shook all our hills[00:03:23]
Who are all those friends[00:03:26]
All scattered like dry leaves[00:03:28]
The radio says[00:03:33]
They are just deportees[00:03:34]
Goodbye to you Juan goodbye Rosalina[00:03:38]
Adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[00:03:44]
You won't have a name[00:03:50]
When you ride the big airplane[00:03:53]
All they will call you[00:03:57]
Will be deportee[00:03:59]
Is this the best way[00:04:09]
We can grow our best orchards[00:04:11]
Is this the best way[00:04:15]
We can grow our good fruit[00:04:16]
To fall like dry leaves[00:04:21]
And rot on my topsoil[00:04:23]
And be known by no name[00:04:26]
Except deportee[00:04:29]
Goodbye to you Juan goodbye Rosalina[00:04:33]
Adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria[00:04:39]
You won't have a name[00:04:45]
When you ride the big airplane[00:04:47]
All they will call you[00:04:51]
Will be deportee[00:04:53]
All they will call you[00:05:03]
Will be deportee[00:05:06]
