---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deportee - Highwaymen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard (CAPO 5th Fret) Artist: The Highwaymen Album: Highwayman Year: 1985 Intro: 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 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: Goodbye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane All they will call you will be Deportee (Repeat Intro) Some of us are illegal and others not wanted 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 (Repeat Chorus 2x) The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon A 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 (Repeat Chorus 2x)
