The crops are all in and the peaches are gathered
D G
The oranges packed in their creosote bins

They're flying them back to the Mexican border
D7
Will take all their money to get back again
CHORUS:

Goodbye to my friends, good bye Rosalita

Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria

My father's own father he waded that river

Others before him have done just the same

They died in the hills and they died in the valleys

Some went to heaven with out any names
CHORUS:

Some of us are illegal and others not wanted

Our work contracts finished we have to move on

Its six hundred miles to the Mexican border

They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
D G
А fireball of thunder that shook the hills round
C G
Who are those friends who are scattered like dry leaves
D7 G
The radio said they were just...Deportees
CHORUS:

Goodbye to my friends, good bye Rosalita
D D7 G
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
D7 G
All they will call you will be.....Deportee
