Lyrics

The crops are rotten and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are piled in the creosote dumps
They're sending them back to the Mexican border
To spend all their money to wade back again
Goodbye Tijuana, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
'Cause all they will call you will be deportees
My forefathers' fathers they waded the river
And took all the money they made in their lives
My brothers, my sisters can work in the fruit trees
And ride that damn truck 'til they drop dead and die
Goodbye Tijuana, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
'Cause all they will call you will be deportees
Some of us are illegal and some are not wanted
When our work contract's up we'll have to move on
It's six hundred miles to the Mexican border
And they'll chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves
Goodbye Tijuana, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
'Cause all they will call you will be deportees
We die in the hills and we die in the desert
We die in the valleys, we die in the plains
We die 'neath the trees and we die in the bushes
Both sides of the river we die just the same
Goodbye Tijuana, goodbye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
'Cause all they will call you will be deportees
