Deportees [The Plane Crash At Los Gatos]
Written by Woody Guthrie, music by Martin Hoffman
The Dubliners'version is sung by Paddy Reilly
D G D
[1]The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting,
A7 D
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps,
G D
You're flying them back to the Mexican border,
A7
To pay all their money to wade back again
Chorus I
G D
Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Rosalita,
A7 D
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria,
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airoplane,
A7 D
All they will call you will be depor-tees.
D G D
[2]My father's own father, he waded that river,
A7 D
They took all the money he made in his life,
G D
My brothers and sisters gone working the fruit trees,
A7
They rode the truck till they took down and died.
Chorus II
G D
Adios mi Juan, adios Rosalita
A7 D
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria
G D
No tiene su nombre con grande airplano
A7 D
All they will call you will be...deportee
D G D
[3]Some are illegal and some are not wanted,
A7 D
Our work contracts out and we have to move on.
G D
It's six hundred miles to the Mexican border,
A7
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.
Chorus I
G D
Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Rosalita,
A7 D
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria,
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airoplane,
A7 D
All they will call you will be depor-tees.
D G D
[4]We died in your hills, we died in your deserts,
A7 D
We died in your valleys and died on your plains,
G D
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes,
A7
Both sides of the river we died just the same.
Chorus II
G D
Adios mi Juan, adios Rosalita
A7 D
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria
G D
No tiene su nombre con grande airplano
A7 D
All they will call you will be...deportee
D G D
[5]The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
A7 D
A fireball of lightning that shook all our hills.
G D
Who are these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves?
A7
The radio said, "They are just deportees."
Chorus I
G D
Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Rosalita,
A7 D
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria,
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airoplane,
A7 D
All they will call you will be depor-tees.
D G D
[6]Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
A7 D
Is this the best way we can raise our good fruit?
G D
To fall like dry leaves and rot on the topsoil,
A7
And be called by no name ex-cept "deportees".
Chorus II
G D
Adios mi Juan, adios Rosalita
A7 D
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria
G D
No tiene su nombre con grande airplano
A7 D
All they will call you will be...deportee
