Phil Ochs
2
Wade into the river
3
Through the rippling shallow watter
4
Steal accross the thirsty border
5
Bracero
6
Come bring your hungry bodies
7
To the golden fields of plenty
8
From a peso to a penny
9
Bracero
10
Oh, welcome to California
11
Where the friendly farmers
12
Will take care of you
13
Come labor for your mother
14
For your father and your brother
15
For your sisters and your lover
16
Bracero
17
Come pick the fruits of yellow
18
Break the flowers from the berries
19
Purple grapes will fill your bellies
20
Bracero
21
Oh, Welcome to California
22
Where the friendly farmers
23
Will take care of you
24
And the sun will bite your body
25
As the dust will draw you thristy
26
While your muscles beg for mercy
27
Bracero
28
In the shade of your sombrero
29
Drop your sweat upon the soil
30
Like the fruit your youth can spoil
31
Bracero
32
Oh, welcome to California
33
Where the friendly farmers
34
Will take care of you
35
When the weary night embraces
36
Sleep in shacks that could be cages
37
They will take it from your wages
38
Bracero
39
Come sing about tomorrow
40
With a jingle of the dollars
41
And forget your crooked collar
42
Bracero
43
Oh, welcome to California
44
Where the friendly farmers
45
Will take care of you
46
And the local men are lazy
47
And they make too much of trouble
48
Besides we'd have to pay them double
49
Bracero
50
Ah, but if you feel you're fallin'
51
If you find the pace is killing
52
There are others who are willing
53
Bracero
54
Oh, welcome to California
55
Where the friendly farmers
56
Will take care of you
57
