The Immigrant by Merle Haggard
The Immigrant
(No Capo)
[Intro] X4
G
[Verse]
G
A- merican ranching consists of a mansion
Bm Am D
Where illegal immigrants do much of the labor by hand
They sneak 'em through customs till time comes to bust 'em
G
Then haul 'em back over the border to their own native land
G
With a ragged sombrero and not much dinero
C
They'll be back again when the ole Rio Grande's way down low
G
Border patroller don't stop the stroller
D G
'Cause the Mexican immigrant is helping America grow
[Chorus]
G
Viva La Mexico, go where they let you go
D
Do what you can for the land
Take home dinero and buy new sombrero
G
And come back again when you can
[Solo]
G G G D Am D D G G
G
What makes a gringo your smart aleck lingo
Bm Am D
When he stole this land from the Indian man way back when
Don't he remember the big money lender
G
That put him a lien parked where his pencil had been
G
The almighty peso that gives him the say so
C
To dry up the river whenever there's crops to bring in
G
This a good neighbor to take all his labor
D G
Then chase him back over the border till he's needed a- gain
