VERSE:
E A E
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting

The oranges piled in their creosote dumps

To pay all their money, to wade back again
CHORUS:
A E
Goodbye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita

Adios mes amigos, Jesus and Maria

You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane
A E
All they will call you will be deportee
Or whatever key you like....Throw in a few bass runs and you're all set.
