The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting

The oranges are packed in their creosote green

Your flying them back to the Mexican border

To spend all their money to wade back again

Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A7 D
And all they will call you will be deportee

Some of us are illegal and others not wanted
D A D D7
Our work contracts out and we have to move on
G D
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border
A D
They chase us like outlaws like rustlers and thieves

Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon

A fireball of lightning it shook all our hills
G D
Who are all these firends who are scattered like dry leaves
A7 D
The radio said they were just deportees
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A D
And all they will call you will be deportee
