La Migra

Manuelito still smiles, been doin’ this for a while He’s a smuggler and knows how to get across the border. He knows every ravine guarded by green machine And if you can pay he can get you around La Migra. They come here as you know. Millions swim in the flow. Yes, they come and they go and then they disappear But the Border Patrol cannot capture the soul Of Manuelito and those who come across the border. Manny’s never been caught but I know he is sought By Migra from Brownsville through Baja. No one knows his last name but hey know of his game. He has come to be known as el coyote grande. They come here, as you know. Millions swim in the flow. Yes, they come and they go and then they disappear But the Border Patrol cannot capture the soul Of Manuelito and those who come across the border. Landscapers cut up your grass. Busboys fill up your glass. It goes on and on from May to late December. And year after year, illegals living in fear That’s the way it has been as long as I can remember. They come here as you know. Millions swim in the flow. Yes, they come and they go and then they disappear But the Border Patrol cannot capture the soul Of Manuelito and those who come across the border. But the Border Patrol cannot capture the soul Of Manuelito and those who come across the border. --- La Migra - Kingston Trio
