[00:04.974]Wade into the river, through the rippling shallow waters
[00:12.272]Steal across the thirsty border, bracero
[00:20.133]Come bring your hungry body to the golden fields of plenty
[00:27.431]From a peso to a penny, bracero
[00:33.320]
[00:35.004]Oh, welcome to california
[00:41.735]Where the friendly farmers will take care of you
[00:48.460]
[00:50.702]Come labor for your mother, for your father and your brother
[00:57.442]For your sisters and your lover, bracero
[01:05.018]Come pick the fruits of yellow, break the flowers from the berries
[01:12.302]Purple grapes will fill your bellies, bracero
[01:18.768]
[01:20.387]Oh, welcome to california
[01:26.839]Where the friendly farmers will take care of you
[01:34.139]
[01:36.672]And the sun will bite your body, as the dust will draw you thristy
[01:43.968]While your muscles beg for mercy, bracero
[01:51.257]In the shade of your sombrero, drop your sweat upon the soil
[01:58.558]Like the fruit your youth can spoil, bracero
[02:06.419]
[02:06.699]Oh, welcome to california
[02:14.554]Where the friendly farmers will take care of you
[02:21.005]
[02:24.089]When the weary night embraces, sleep in shacks that could be cages
[02:31.383]They will take it from your wages, bracero
[02:39.147]Come sing about tomorrow with a jingle of the dollars
[02:46.440]And forget your crooked collar, bracero
[02:53.434]
[02:53.715]Oh, welcome to california
[03:01.015]Where the friendly farmers will take care of you
[03:08.587]
[03:11.672]And the local men are lazy, and they make too much of trouble
[03:19.243]Besides we'd have to pay them double, bracero
[03:27.328]Ah, but if you feel you're fallin', if you find the pace is killing
[03:34.060]There are others who are willing, bracero
[03:40.514]
[03:40.792]Oh, welcome to california
[03:48.368]Where the friendly farmer will take care of you
