(IMO the best cover on YouTube is Dolly Parton's)

The crops are all in and the  peaches are rotting
The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps
They're flying you back to the Mexico border
To pay all your money to wade back again

(Chorus)
Good bye to my Juan, farewell Rosalia
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you is just deportes

My father's own father he waded that river
They took all the money he made in his life
It's 600 miles to the Mexican border
And they chased him like rustlers, like outlaws like thieves

The airplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
A great ball of fire that shook all the hills
Who are these friends who are scattered like dry leaves?
The radio said "They're just deportes"

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good crops?
To fall like dry leaves and rot on our topsoil
And be known by no name except deportes

(Chorus)
