Marta, she can sing the blues, oh, oh
Left la vida en Salina Cruz, oh, oh
She headed north with her family
To the land of opportunity
And Marta, she can sing the blues, oh, oh
On the Llano Estacado
Out west toward the plain
In a pueblo olvidado
Where no one knows her name
Marta, she can't settle in, oh, oh
A thousand miles from their next of kin, oh, oh
But little brother, he don't seem to mind
He can't recall the life they left behind
And Marta, she can't settle in, oh, oh
On the Llano Estacado
Out west toward the plain
In a pueblo olvidado
Where no one knows her name
ย
La migra came to town today, oh, oh
They closed the plant and took her dad away, oh, oh
Oh, Marta and little brother hid
And mama cried like a little kid
La migra came to town today, oh, oh
On the Llano Estacado
Out west toward the plain
In a pueblo olvidado
Where no one knows her name
On the Llano Estacado
It's the furthest place to hide
Just outside of nowhere
Where all they got is time
