Deportees - Paddy Reilly video free download

Recorded in Cork, at the Opera House.

The crops are all in and the peaches are gathered

Oranges packed in their creosote bins

They re flying them back to the Mexican border

Twill take all their money to get back again

So farewell to my friends goodbye Roselita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you fly the big aeroplane

All they will call you will be deportees

The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon

The fire ball lit- up and struck the hills round

Oh who were those friends who were scanered like dry leaves

The radio said they were just deportees

So farewell to my friends goodbye Roselita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you fly the big aeroplane

All they will call you will be deportees

Is this the best way for to plough our good orchards?

Is this the best way to grow our good fruit

To lie on the ground and to rot on the topsoil

And never know no name except deportees

So farewell to my friends goodbye Roselita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you fly the big aeroplane

All they will call you will be deportees

Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted,

Our work contract's finished wev'e got to move on

It's Six hundred miles to the Mexican border,

They chase us like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves.

So farewell to my friends goodbye Roselita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

You won't have a name when you fly the big aeroplane

all they will call you will be deportees
