Arlo Guthrie and Emmylou Harrris - Deportees
Полностью песня, исполняемая фолк-музыкантами Arlo Guthrie и Emmylou Harrris, называется "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)". Написана она по мотивам реальной истории: Вуди Гатри (отец Arlo Guthrie) стихами откликнулся на весть об авиакатастрофе в Los Gatos Canyon (Калифорния, США) 29 января 1948 года. На борту самолета находились 28 сельскохозяйственных рабочих (27 мужчин и одна женщина) из Мексики, которых силой депортировали из страны за нарушение миграционного законодательства.
Поэтическую ярость Вуди Гатри вызвал не только сам факт депортации, который он считал проявлением бюрократического равнодушия, бесчеловечности и расизма, но и то, что в новостях по радио и в газетах журналисты сочувственно упоминали имена летчиков и охранника, опуская имена других жертв: это, по мнению певца, символически подчеркивало отношение к погибшим, как к "социальной категории" и безымянным единицам статистики. "Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves? / The radio says, "They are just deportees".

Со дня трагедии прошло много лет. Песню поют на концертах до сих пор. Ее записывали на свои диски Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen и др. Кавер песни под названием "Ballad of Easy Rider", сочиненный Бобом Диланом (см. Masters of War, Blowin' In the Wind, Let Me Die In My Footsteps) , стал частью саундтрека легендарного битнического фильма "Easy Rider".
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are piled in their cresote dumps
They're flying you back to the Mexico border
To pay all your money to wade back again
My father's own father, he wanted that river
They took all the money he made in his life
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees
And they rode the truck till they took down and died
CHORUS
Good-bye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maris
You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane
And all they will call you will be deportees.
Some of us are illega, and others not wanted
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
But it's six hundred miles to that Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like theives.
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts
We died in your valleys and died on your plains
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes
Both sides of the river, we died just the same.
CHORUS
A sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
Like a fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says they are just deportees.
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except deportees?
