Phil Ochs Wade into the river Through the rippling shallow watter Steal accross 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 farmers 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 fruits of yellow Break the flowers from the berries Purple grapes will fill your bellies Bracero Oh, Welcome to California Where the friendly farmers Will take care of you And the sun will bite your body As the dust will draw you thristy 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 farmers 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 dollars And forget your crooked collar Bracero Oh, welcome to California Where the friendly farmers Will take care of you And the local men are lazy And they make too much of trouble Besides we'd have to pay them double Bracero Ah, 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 farmers Will take care of you
