The wealthy wetback

My beautiful Mexico is waiting for me,
and that's why I'm leaving.
I am a wealthy wetback,
but I want to die in my homeland.
 
Goodbye, goodbye California,
Texas, Chicago, Illinois.
I'll remember you
because I'm leaving for my homeland.
 
Even though I've got money
I'm not happy where I am now,
goodbye Colorado,
Nevada and Oregon.
 
This wetback is saying goodbye.
My back was wet with sweat
from Arizona's fields
and New York's factories.
 
My beautiful Mexico is waiting for me,
and that's why I'm leaving.
I am a wealthy wetback,
but I want to die in my homeland.
 
I'm an adventurous wetback
with a perfect english,
I've traveled across Atlanta,
and Oklahoma too.
 
Once a blonde from Florida said to me
"I love you, Mexican men".
I'll never forget
the United States.
 
I wanted to have a lot of money
so I came here to earn it,
but I want to spend it
in my dear homeland.
 
My beautiful Mexico is waiting for me,
and that's why I'm leaving.
I am a wealthy wetback,
but I want to die in my homeland.
