The crops are all in and the food is so healthy
The vegetables piled high in orange and green
We eat in abundance as tho we were wealthy
Because of the farmworkers here on the scene
chorus
Thank you to Juan, Thank you Rosalita,
Thank you amigos Jesús and Anita
We’re happy you live, bienvenidos
And all we can say is gracias a ti
But now in the shadows some armed men are lurking
Waiting to grab folks and take them away
But we are all watching and care for each other
Those men are not getting our neighbors today
chorus
