LyricMeaning

Immigrant
Johnny Rodriguez

American ranchin’ consists of a mansion

Where illegal immigrants do most of the labor by hand

They sneak them through customs till it’s time to bust them

Then haul them back over the border to their own native land


With a ragged sombrero and not much dinero

They’ll be back again when the ‘ol Rio Grande is down low

Border patroller don’t stop the stroller

‘Cause the Mexican immigrant is helping America grow


Chorus:

Viva la mejico go where they let you go

Do what you can for the land

Take home dinero and buy the sombrero

And come back again when you can


Instrumental:…

What makes the gringo his smart aleck lingo

When he stole his land way back then

Don’t he remember the big money lender

That put his a Lincoln, parked where his pinto had been


The almighty peso that gives him the say so

To dry up the river whenever there’s crops to bring in

Is this the good neighbor who takes all his labor

And chase him back over the border ‘til he’s needed again

Lyrics by Johnny Rodriguez

  (Just Get up and) Close the Door   Dance With Me (Just One More Time)   Down on the Rio Grande   Foolin'   How Could I Love Her So Much   I Just Can't Get Her Out Of My Mind   I Wonder If I Ever Said Goodbye   Just Get up and Close the Door   Love Put a Song in My Heart   Pass Me By   Pass Me By (If You're Only Passing Through)   Ridin' My Thumb To Mexico   We Believe In Happy Endings   We're Over   You Always Come Back to Hurting Me
