[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotten
The oranges are all packed in the creosote dumps
They're flying them back to the Mexican Border
To save all their money, and wade back again
[Verse 2: Johnny Rodriguez]
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 valley
Some went to heaven without any name
[Chorus: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Rodriguez]
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be "deportee"
[Verse 3: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson]
Some of us are illegal, and others not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
Six-hundred miles to the Mexican Border
They chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves
[Chorus: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Rodriguez]
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be "deportee"
[Verse 4: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson]
The sky-plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
A fireball a thunder, it shook all the hills
Who are all these dear friends, scattered like dry leaves?
The radio said they were just deportees
[Chorus: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Johnny Rodriguez]
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios a mi Juan, adios Rosalita
Adios mi amigo, Jesus y Maria
Adios a mi amigo, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
No tendrá un nombre en el aeroplano
All they will call you will be "deportee"
Le llamarán serán "deportee"
[Outro: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Johnny Rodriguez]
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
Adios a mi Juan y adios Rosalita
Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria
Adios a mi amigo, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
No tendrá un nombre en el aeroplano
All they will call you will be "deportee"
Le llamarán serán va a hacer "deportee"
