My father's own father, he waded that river

My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees

Verse 
D                           G           D 
Some of us are illegal, and all are not wanted 
                                  G           D 
Our work contract's out and we've got to move on 
G                         D       Bm 
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border 
     D                           G              D 
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves 
   D                      G            D 
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts 
                           G            D 
We died in your armies, we died on your plains 
   G                             D                 Bm 
We died 'neath your trees and we died 'neath those bushes 
     D                       G             D 
Both sides of that river, we died just the same

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon 
                                 G             D 
Like a fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills 
    G                      D          Bm 
Who are all these friends, dying like dry leaves?

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?

Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?

And be known by no name ex cept depor tee
