(Uno, dos, tres)
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are in the creosote dumps
They're flying 'em back to that Mexican border
To take all their money and wade back again
Goodbye, my Juan, farewell, Rosalita
Adios, mis amigos, Jesรบs y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportees
My father's own father, he waded that river
They took all the money he made in his life
It's six hundred miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves
Goodbye, my Juan, farewell, Rosalita
Adios, mis amigos, Jesรบs y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportees

The sky-plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
A fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills
Who are these comrades who are scattered like dry leaves?
Radio tells us they're just deportees
Goodbye, my Juan, farewell, Rosalita
Adios, mis amigos, Jesรบs y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportees
All they will call you will be deportees
