4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning,
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps;
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again
chorus
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos--, Jesus y Maria-;
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "deportees"
My father's own father, he waded that river--,
They took all the money he made in his life;
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees,
And they rode the truck till they took down and died.
