(Verse 1
The (D)crops are all in and the (G)peaches are (D)rotting
The (D)oranges piled in their (G)creosote (D)dumps
You're (G)flying them back to the (D)Mexican border
To (D)pay all their money, to (A)wade back again (D)
 
(Chorus)
Good-(G)bye to my Juan, good-(D)bye Rosalita
Adi-(A)os mes amigos, Je-(D)sus and Maria
You (G)won't have your names when you (D)ride the big airplane
(D)All they will call you will (A)be depor-(D)tee / / |(D/A) / / |(D) / / |(D/A) /
 
(Verse 2)
My (D)Father's own father, he (G)waded that (D)river
They (D)took all the money he (G)made in his (D)life
My (G)brothers and sisters come (D)working in the fruit trees
And they (D)rode the big truck till they (A)lay down and (D)died
 
(Chorus)
Good-(G)bye to my Juan, good-(D)bye Rosalita
Adi-(A)os mis amigos, Je-(D)sus and Maria
You (G)won't have your names when you (D)ride the big airplane
(D)All they will call you will (A)be depor-(D)tee / / |(D/A) / / |(D) / / |(D/A) /
 
(Verse 3)
Oh, the (D)sky plane caught fire over (G)Los Gatos (D)canyon
A (D)fireball of lightning, and (A)shook all our (D)hills
Who (G)are all these friends, all (D)scattered like dry leaves?
The (D)radio says they are (A)just depor-(D)tees
 
(Chorus)
Good-(G)bye to my Juan, good-(D)bye Rosalita
Adi-(A)os mis amigos, Je-(D)sus and Maria
You (G)won't have your names when you (D)ride the big airplane
(D)All they will call you will (A)be depor-(D)tee
