 The Immigrant     As sung by Merle Haggard
 American Ranching   consists of a mansion
 Where illegal immigrant  do much of the labor by hand
 They sneak em thru customs  Till time comes to bust em
 Then haul em back over the border  to their own native land
 With a ragged Sombrero  and not much Dinero
 They'll be back again   When the Rio Grande's way down low
 So Border Patroller     don't stop the stroller
 Cause the Illegal Immigrant    is helping America grow
 
 Chorus
 Viva La Mexico    Go where they let you go
 And do what you can for the land
 Take home Dinero   And buy new Sombrero
 And come back again when you can
 (Music)
 
 What makes a gringo    Your smart aleck lingo
 When you stole this land from the Indian way back when
 Don't he remember   the big money lender
 That put him a lien  where his pencil had been
 The almighty peso     That gives him the say so
 To dry up the River   Whenever there's crops to bring in
 Such a good neighbor   To take all his Labor
 Till they need him again
 (Chorus)
