  48 My father's own father, he waded that river.
  49 They took all the money he made in his life.
  50 My brothers and sisters came workin' the fruit trees,
  51 They rode the big trucks 'till they laid down and died.

  62 The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
  63 A fireball of lightnin' an' it shook all the hills.
  64 Who are these comrades, they're dying like the dry leaves?
  65 The radio tells me, &quot;They're just deportees.&quot;
  66
  67 We died in your hills and we died in your deserts,
  68 We died in your valleys, we died in your plains.
  69 We died 'neath your trees and we died 'neath your bushes,
  70 Both sides of the river we died just the same.
