Deportee tells the story of a young man and his alcoholic father who live in a skid-row hotel while trying to make ends meet. The father longs for the farm they left behind when they came to the city seeking a better life. The young man falls in love with a beautiful but troubled older woman who lives down the hall. Their bittersweet romance proves to be his painful rite-of-passage into adulthood.
The genesis of the song reportedly occurred when Guthrie was struck by the fact that radio and newspaper coverage of the Los Gatos plane crash did not give the victims' names, but instead referred to them merely as "deportees." For example, none of the deportees' names were printed in the January 29, 1948, New York Times report, only those of the flight crew and the security guard. However, The Fresno Bee covered the tragedy extensively and listed all of the known names of the deportees. Guthrie, whose image was that of a train-hopping folk singer, actually lived in New York City at the time. Not knowing about the extensive local coverage of the disaster, Guthrie responded with a poem, which, when it was first written, featured only rudimentary musical accompaniment, with Guthrie chanting the song rather than singing it. In the poem, Guthrie assigned symbolic names to the dead: "Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita; adiós, mis amigos, Jesús y María..." A decade later, Guthrie's poem was set to music and given a haunting melody by a schoolteacher named Martin Hoffman. Shortly after, folk singer and friend of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, began performing the song at concerts and it was Seeger's rendition that popularized the song during this time.

Woody Guthrie/Martin Hoffman The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning. The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps. They're flying them back to the Mexico border To take all their money to wade back again. Chorus: Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Roselita, Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria. You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane. All they will call you is just deportee. My father's own father, he waded that river. They took all the money he made in his life. It's six hundred miles to the Mexican border And they chased him like rustlers, like outlaws, like thieves. The airplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon, A great ball of fire that shook all the hills. Who are these friends who are falling like dry leaves? The radio said, "They're just deportees." Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? Is this the best way we can raise our good crops? To fall like dry leaves and rot on our topsoil And be known by no name except deportee.
