The crops are all in and the ^Fpeaches are ^Crott'ning The oranges all piled in their ^Gcreosote ^Cdumps They're flying them back to the ^FMexican ^Cborder To pay all their money to ^Gwade back a^Cgain

Good^Fbye to my Juan, good^Cbye, Rosalita Adi^Gos mis amigos, Jesus ^Fy Ma^Cria You ^Fwon't have your names when you ^Cride the big aeroplane All they will call you is "^Gdepor^Ctees"

Some of us are illegal, and ^Fsome are not ^Cwanted Our work contract's out and we've ^Ggot to move ^Con It's six hundred miles to the ^FMexican ^Cborder They chase us like outlaws, like ^Grustlers, like ^Cthieves

The sky plane caught fire over ^FLos Gatos ^CCanyon A fireball of lightning, it ^Gshook all our ^Chills Who are these good people, all ^Fscattered like ^Cdry leaves? The radio says, "They were ^Gjust depor^Ctees"

Good^Fbye to my Juan, good^Cbye, Rosalita Adi^Gos mis amigos, Jesus ^Fy Ma^Cria You ^Fwon't have your names when you ^Cride the big aeroplane All they will call you is "^Gdepor^Ctees"

Is this the best way we can ^Fharvest our ^Corchards? Is this the best way we can ^Gharvest our ^Ccrops? To die like dry leaves and ^Frot on the ^Ctopsoil And be called by no name except "^Gdepor^Ctees"?

Good^Fbye to my Juan, good^Cbye, Rosalita Adi^Gos mis amigos, Jesus ^Fy Ma^Cria You ^Fwon't have your names when you ^Cride the big aeroplane All they will call you is "^Gdepor^Ctees"
