Words by Woody Guthrie

Music by Martin Hoffman
3
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
4
The oranges piled up in their creosote dumps
5
You're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
6
To spend all their money to wade back again
7
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
8
Adios mis amigos Jesus y Maria
9
You wont have a name when you ride the big airplane
10
All they will call you will be "deportees"
11
Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted
12
Our work contracts up and we have to move on
13
600 miles to that Mexican border
14
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
15
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
16
Adios mis amigos Jesus y Maria
17
You wont have a name when you ride the big airplane
18
All they will call you will be "deportees"
19
The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
20
A fireball of lightning, shook all our hills
21
Who are all these friends who are scattered like dry leaves
22
The radio said they were just "deportees"
23
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
24
Adios mis amigos Jesus y Maria
25
You wont have a name when you ride the big airplane
26
All they will call you will be "deportees"
