Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I came here to work and take up
The rope give contributuion in this
Land of hope i'll bleed for your king
I'll die for your queen give all and
Some more to your western dream
Locked in the ghetto waiting for news
Standing on the corner with those Immigration blues
My cousin told me steal your
Mother's ring of gold Raise
Every single dollar oh before
We get too old now I'm standing
In an endless line waiting for
Some news my dignity cries for mercy
With those immigration blues
Don't know where my cousin
Went to maybe they sent him
Back alone i miss the ones I left
So badly maybe I should have
Stayed back home somebody
Knows a dealer now it seems
I don't get to choose so I got to
Try whatever kick out these
Immigration blues, yeah Those
Immigration blues
