lyrics

Tonight she packs her bags for
Tomorrow she’ll walk the paths
That’ll take her across the border
To somewhere less sad

She crosses at the levee
Past the stone and wire
She reaches a darkened desert
With hope for a better life

The border patrol haunts her steps
As search lights streak the sky
She struggles hard to catch her breath
As coyote cry

Rosalita falls down
Rosalita falls down

She comes upon a city
Looking for some work
But all the doors shut on her
Without papers she has no worth

She thinks of her home and all she’s lost
The family she’s left behind
She takes a job in a garment shop
Working nine to nine

Rosalita falls down
Rosalita falls down
Rosalita cries without a sound
Rosalita falls down

Now she has a quota
She works till her fingers bleed
She’s a faceless seamstress
Unheard and unseen

The foreman’s steps pound in her brain
She’s chained now to his will
He strikes her down with a single blow and her blood spills

Repeat chorus
