Wade into the river, through the rippling shallow watter Steal across the thirsty border, bracero Come bring your hungry bodies to the golden fields of plenty From a peso to a penny, bracero Oh, welcome to California Where the friendly farmer will take care of you Come labor for your mother, for your father and your brother For your sisters and your lover, bracero Come pick the fruit of yellow, break the flower from the berry Purple grapes will fill your belly, bracero Oh, welcome to California Where the friendly farmer will take care of you And the sun will bite your body, as the dust will draw you thirsty While your muscles beg for mercy, bracero In the shade of your sombrero, drop your sweat upon the soil Like the fruit your youth can spoil, bracero Oh, welcome to California Where the friendly farmer will take care of you When the weary night embraces, sleep in shacks that could be cages They will take it from your wages, bracero Come sing about tomorrow with a jingle of the dollar And forget your crooked collar, bracero Oh, welcome to California Where the friendly farmer will take care of you And the local men are lazy, and they make too much of trouble Besides we'd have to pay the double, bracero But if you feel you're fallin', if you find the pace is killing There are others who are willing, bracero Oh, welcome to California Where the friendly farmer will take care of you © BARRICADE MUSIC INC; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
