Judy Collins - Deportee/Plane Wreck At Los Gatos
[Intro]
G C D G
[Verse 1]
C G The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting D G The oranges are packed in their creosote dumps C G They're flying them back to the Mexican border D G It takes all their money to wade back again
[Chorus]
C G Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita D G Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria C G You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D G C D G All they will call you will be 'Deportee'
[Verse 2]
C D My father's own father, he waded that river D G They took all the money he made in his life C G My sisters and brothers come work in the fruit trees D G Rode that truck till they went down and died
[Verse 3]
C G Some of us are illegal and others not wanted D G Our work contract's out and we have to move on C G Six hundred miles to the Mexican border D G They chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves
[Chorus]
C G Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita D G Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria C G You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D G C D G All they will call you will be 'Deportee'
[Verse 4]
C G The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon D G A fireball of thunder that shook all the hills C G Who are all these dear friends, scattered like dry leaves D G The radio says, "They are just deportees"
[Verse 5]
C G Is this the best way we can raise our good orchards? D G Is this the best way we can grow our good crops? C G To die and be scattered, to rot on my topsoil D G And be called by no name except "Deportees"?
[Chorus]
C G Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita D G Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria C G You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D G C D G All they will call you will be 'Deportee'
