G+G
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting

The oranges are packed in the creoste dumps

They're flying them back to the Mexican border

To save all their money and wade back again

Goodbye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita

Our work contracts out and we have to move on

Six hundred miles to the Mexican border

They chase us like outlaws like rustlers, like thieves

A augmentedA fireball of thunder that shook all the hills

Who are all these dear friends scattered like dry leaves

The radio said they were just Deportees
