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
