Deportee (Plane Wreck At Lost Gatos) lyrics
Song information
Artist: Dolly Parton Album: Nine To Five And Odd Jobs
Lyrics
The crops are all in and the peaches are rottin' The oranges are piled and their creosote dumps You're flying them back to the mexican border To pay all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my juan goodbye rosalita Adios mis-a-mi-gos jesus and maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be deportee
Some of us are illegal and some are not wanted Our work contract's out and we have to move on But it's six hundred miles to that mexican border They chase us like outlaws like rustlers like thieves
Goodbye to my juan goodbye rosalita..
My father's own father he waded that river They took all the money he made in his life My brothers and sisters come work in the fruit trees They rode the truck till they took down and died The airplane caught fire over las gatos canyon A fireball of lightening that shook all our hills Who are these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves The radio said they were just deportees
Goodbye to my juan goodbye rosalita.. All they will call you will be deportee
