Wetback
Jose was a migrant worker
He worked in my orange grove
And Jose know he's got to lay down low
Or they're gonna send him right back home
Get back
Back across the river
Back down
Down to Monterey
Wetback
Working to deliver
Pretty pickin' up in L.A.
Jose played a wooden guitar
Evenings he would sing and dance
He's on the run but he has such fun
Lord Jose's taking quite a chance
Get back
Back across the river
Back down
Down to Monterey
Wetback
Working to deliver
Pretty pickin' up in L.A.
A year ago they come to get him
Now they picked him up on Tuesday morn
But he say "Mack, gonna be right back
Bring my family with me when I come"
And I'll be singing
Get back
Back across the river
Back up
Up to L.A.
Wetback
Working to deliver
Don't have to go back to Monterey
He worked in my orange grove
And Jose know he's got to lay down low
Or they're gonna send him right back home
Get back
Back across the river
Back down
Down to Monterey
Wetback
Working to deliver
Pretty pickin' up in L.A.
Jose played a wooden guitar
Evenings he would sing and dance
He's on the run but he has such fun
Lord Jose's taking quite a chance
Get back
Back across the river
Back down
Down to Monterey
Wetback
Working to deliver
Pretty pickin' up in L.A.
A year ago they come to get him
Now they picked him up on Tuesday morn
But he say "Mack, gonna be right back
Bring my family with me when I come"
And I'll be singing
Get back
Back across the river
Back up
Up to L.A.
Wetback
Working to deliver
Don't have to go back to Monterey
