From Harlingen, our first to California in 1957 and back to TX, to Ohio in1959 and back to TX, again back to California in 1960 and returned back TX in March of 63'. the following years were to Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska and somewhat settling in Ohio some years returning back TX. I would NOT trade all those years ... yes, I am proud tejano/chicano. All that stoop labor was just an experience in our lives, and I have made the best I could from that experience.
Yo los vivi en los 60s I was 5 or 6 years when I wanted to help my parents pick Cotton. They made me my own cotton picking bag. I was a migrant worker t until I was 21 than got my C.D.L n became a truck driver iwas born in 57 damitt boy how i remember those days

Nothing like storys of the past when we worked out in the fields of Madera California, los fantasias for such a song. Con mucho amor Spokane WA. s of the past
I remember those days when me and my mom and sisters would go clean cotton those were the good ole days miss my mom and dad who taught us to be hard working
Memories 60th and 70th. My Father was a Trukero AKA El Gavilan. owner of Trucks and Semi Trucks. We would travel to many locations such as Arkansas, Michigan, Alabama, New Mexico, Indiana just to mention. We would leave just right after school was over and would returned on the month of January the following year. Working thoes fields was no joke. Monday through Saturday with one day off. The age of 5 years old i was picking cotton along side my two older brothers and Parents. Those were times when parents showed and taught thier children how to earn a living. My brothers and I are very proud of our parents. We were all born in the early 50th. Today is a new generation that has no ideal what it is to earn a dollar the way many of us that worked those fields or packing sheds. This song is dedicated to our ancestors who brought our parents the same way. Greetings from Santa Rosa, Texas .
Great memories. My mom and dad would tell me stories of how they worked and had pictures of them working during this generation. My parents, uncles aunts worked in the fields as well. My grandfather also had many trucks, semi’s and over hundred workers. They were from Edcouch-Elsa. Trevino and Sanchez.
My 5 brothers and I have also being owner operators of semi trucks. Some of my brothers know your family. I left the valley at a young age. Joined the Marines and retired in 1997. Started my trucking company in Arizona. 50th, 60th and 70th were the best experience in our family lives. We're still going strong. Greetings. Santa Rosa, Texas.
Gracias a dios me encontre esta cancion que practicamente es la historia de mi famila " Walle Delgadillo" cuando emigramos legalmente a este pais en los anos 1986 y 1987 con unos permisos de trabajo. Despues fuimos acogidos por la Reforma Migratoria de 1986 y el resto es historia. Mi padre y mi madre nos ensenaron a trabajar en la agricultura aqui en Florida cosechando tomate, pepinos, fresas, naranjas y vegetales. Despues en Junio emigravamos al norte al estado de Michigan a hacer trabajo de agricultura cosechando pepinos y azadon tambien porque era lo unico que habia y nosotros veniamos a trabajar y a progresar en este pais. Hoy mis padres ya no estan pero descansan sus restos aqui en Florida la tierra que nos dio la oportunidad de crecer y progresar en este gran pais. Un saludo y abrazos a todos los que tuvieron la experiencia de trabajar en la agricultura ya que cuando escucho esta cancion me hace recordar aquellos maravillosos tiempos. Saludos de un Tamaulipeco radicado en Bradenton Florida USA.

This new generation of children will never know what a hard life is was for those children of the 40,50,60,70, and probably 80..Era ..if you wanted something you would worked for what you had and would take good care of it knowing that the money to pay for such things came from your own sweat of hard work ,even as a child .
My family went in the 80 all 90s and early 2000 to Lubbock to clean cotton in West Texas we were so sunburnt but we could hack we weren’t little spoiled brats
Now La Raza De Mexico Working The Fields My Family Were The Last Chicanos To Work In The Fields In The Late 70s 80s Raza Came Crossing The Border To Work The Fields And The Chicanos Didnt Want That Lifestyle And Moved On To Work Better And Not Making Their Kids Suffer What They Did But I Will Always Admire My Grandparents My Uncles Aunts And My Mother Who Were Labor Workers Y Ahora La Raza Que Anda Jalando En Las Labores Mis Respetos Tambien

My father picked cotton in his younger days. He would tell me stories about when they would go to Clarksdale Mississippi around the 1940'sand pick there aside from Robstown and the RGV, Rio Grande Valley. He said that one year a young black boy came to their camp in Clarksdale and asked my grandfather if they could take him back with them. He kept doing that every night and 2 years after till it stopped one day when parents came looking for him. Like the song says and my dad as well, the morning pick was better due to the dew and make the (costales) tow sacks weight more!! My parents raised 10, 5 boys and 5 girls con la chancla!! I too being from McAllen born and raised in Rio Grande, picked watermelon, vegetables and fruits from the orchard in the summer days. You learn the value of hard work and appreciate the dollar more. This is who we are mi jente, LA RAZA!!!
I love things video, As a son of a Mexican father and a a son of American native gringa American, my sister and younger brother used to work for Van De WALLE farm in San Antonio and surrounding county during summers. Thanks for sharing this wonderful amazing video. This video shows how chicanos and illegals FEEDING the American Hater’s and the trumpies with healthy vegetables and fresh fruits.
Dang it this song hit me right in the feels. Memories....from a time i miss. Every time i hear this song i remember my parents and grandparents from the stories they would tell us. I had the chance to work the fields when i was a kid. And till this day i'm grateful to my parents for always working hard for us, and doing what they could for me and my siblings. Now its my turn to return the favor and proud to do it.. while i still can and they are still around.
Estos son Recuerdos del Padre de nosotros, que Los enceno a trabajar. Estamos Bien agradesidos Al jefito. Que dios me Los bendiga a todos. Happy Trails!
Saludos y mis respetos para todos los que no se rajaron y siguieron trabajando al lado de sus padres, abuela, y toda la palomilla que andaba en la labor. Es una experiencia que la generacion de hoy necesita porque los de hoy parece que quiere que le den todo gratis. Animo al zurco!!!
Si. Esos zurcos que nunca tienian fin. Cuando llegabas al fin del zurco y volteabas la mirada y alli esta otra ves, otro zurco que no se miraba el fin. Pero si se oia a TODA MADRE cuando Gene gritaba, "hay viene "lagua" raza". (The only break from the monotonous days in the sun.) [el melon near Crystal City, la espiga around Dumas, el vetabel en New York y Wyoming, el pepino en Michigan.] I did enjoy the traveling, seeing new things/places. Some of these things/places I had read/seen in books. I remember seeing Busch stadium in St. Louis through the hole in the lona. Honest honorable work for many of us but we should not let our "sharp ones" stay behind. We need to encourage and back them up to get higher education so that they can sit on tables where decisions are made. We don't have to prove to anybody that we are hard workers. Our history shows that from way back in the beginnings when the Aztecas built Chinampas to what is now the mexico city area. Arriba mi brown bothers and sisters. ElRoi
Awesome song and great video by Los Fantasmas del Valle ..............It reminds me when we (family) used to go to Bovina/Herfered,Tx area back in June - 1982 to work on the cotton fields or the sugarbeeds fields.............and every Friday after we got paid we would stop by the ALL-SUPS store , and got myself 2 borritos and a Pepsi..... (something I still do today) , when ever I have a chance.......Unfortunately my mother passed away in 2003 and my older brother also passed away on 2013 so things have been rough on my family .......but watching this type of videos makes it better on on the family and keep those memories alive.........
My Dad used to tell us stories of going from here in San Antonio to Michigan in the 40s and how often they ate field rats so they wouldn't starve. They slept as a family in the bed of a pickup truck. God bless them. 🙏
When me and my family would go to Lubbock Abernathy New Deal Plainview Cotton Center and Idalou to clean cotton thanks to all the Farmers who gave us work and they were so kind to us and also Littlefield and Shallowater

Those were beautiful times parents and children were United we had respect for them. Working in the fields made you a strong and responsible person. I miss those beautiful days ..those beautiful memories will never be forgotten. I miss my parents. May you rest in peace mom and dad. Love you forever. God bless
Aun recuerdo, los años cuarenta, cuando con mis padres, pizcaba algodón, yo me levantaba muy de mañanita, para irnos temprano, para la labor. Y con el sereno,de la madrugada la primer pesada, era la mejor, y entre todos juntos, hacíamos tres pacas, pa´cuando quería, calentar el Sol. Apenas seis años, tenia cumplidos, y yo no podía, la saca arrastrar, pero yo quería, ayudarle a mis padres, con un costalito, me ponía a pizcar A las meras doce, decía mi madre, vénganse mis hijos, vamos a comer, debajo del troque, comíamos todos, frijoles refrito, papas y café. Allá en "el Chapeño", estuvimos pizcando, luego nos pasamos, para Rodhe Star, allá en Corpus Christy, fue donde probamos, el primer "hamburguer" con "seven-up". De aquellas "barracas", después de la cena, salíamos todos.para descansar, unos platicando y otros cantando, con un bajo viejo, para divagar. Un dia yo y mi padre, nos fuimos al pueblo, íbamos contentos, yo y mi papá, con una peseta, fuimos alas vistas, y hasta le llevamos, pop corn a mama. Ahora estoy solo, mis padres se han ido, pero yo los traigo, en mi corazón el Sol y la Luna han sido testigos, de cuando anduvimos, pizcando algodón. Los años cuarenta, la época de oro, como los añoro, quisiera llorar, hoy solo han quedado,los bellos recuerdos, de aquellos momentos que no volverán.
I remember. Very happy. Memories . Makes me feel like crying .miss my papa mom. All my brothers n sisters. Those were hard to imes. Working picking cotton . Good old days . No regrets . 😂👍💗
This Is The Kind Of Labor Our People Did In Those Day And They Say That We Never Work These Was Hard Labor I Did And I Am Proud Of It . Que ViVa La Raza Ariba
Bellos recuerdos de los anos sesentas a los 7 anos andava piscando algodon en el rancho de mi abuelo y con mis tios a ▪︎50 centabos por 100 libras. A los diez anos para el west Tejas a .35 centabos por Hora. Nunca se me olvidara eso. Pero el dinero rendia el 1968. Llo tenia 10 anos y mi Padre que en paz descanza era el majordomo. Piscabamos melon en sacos a .75 centabos la hora cuando Ceasar Chavez pelio la batalla y nos suvieron a 1.35 la hora.
Like this song, brings back memories from then when we use to work at the Van De Walle fields with my sister in San Antonio and south Texas. This song is great thanks for sharing this video. Hope one day our young folks could under stand that EDUCATION is good in life. That what we had to do in life to succeed in todays technology. Yes farm workers are good people, they work to get good food in our body.
Went to school when it was time to go up north we were ready my friends who stayed here in the valley didn't have to leave we did go to Michigan to work it was a long trip to work in the fields of dreams.
Cuando andaba en la pizca en Zacatecas de chavalo la levantada un café y una gorda de Maíz para aguantar hasta las doce después un. Plato de beans tortillas paliadas bellos recuerdos !!!
RIP Alma Garza Radio Host Del programa Radio Bilingue en Fresno Ca , she played Tejano music every Saturday for 30 yrs . The show was called la Onda Tejana . She loved this song due to her youth days pickin cotton in Texas and picking Grapes in California .. Fresno's Central Valley .
@@pascualrico8219 gracias amigo yo la escuche por varios años y porque me fui para Mexico un tiempo y cuando regrese ya no estaba de las ultimas veces que la escuche fue un sabado que estaba hablando algo sobre un nieto de ella se escuchaba muy triste pero no alcance a escuchar en si que paso
I remember going to work on the fields on spring break, and on Monday all sunburn, friends would tell me, hey you are all tan, I would reply oh yes we went to South Padre [ that was 1986 RGV]
I LOVE THIS, MY JEFITA ALWAZE told me this bout her like as a child picking cotton, and other crops, and not making shit for profit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but AMOR was there ''love''!!!!!!!!!!
This video shall be forwarded to the racist klu klus klown Donald duck Trump. This shows how our ancestors work to feed the gringos and all around the nation, not let him put us down as what or who we are as latinos or Tejanos. If he eats vegie then he supports the latinos as well. Young farm workers still works for better life for them self and parents. Hope one day farm worker can be known as how people get food on there table, vegies- fruits, and so on.
This song brought me and my 84 year old mother tears. This song brought back memories of when she and her siblings picked cotton.

My father picked cotton in his younger days. He would tell me stories about when they would go to Clarksdale Mississippi around the 1940'sand pick there aside from Robstown and the RGV, Rio Grande Valley. He said that one year a young black boy came to their camp in Clarksdale and asked my grandfather if they could take him back with them. He kept doing that every night and 2 years after till it stopped one day when parents came looking for him.
Like the song says and my dad as well, the morning pick was better due to the dew and make the (costales) tow sacks weight more!! My parents raised 10, 5 boys and 5 girls con la chancla!! I too being from McAllen born and raised in Rio Grande, picked watermelon, vegetables and fruits from the orchard in the summer days. You learn the value of hard work and appreciate the dollar more.

Aun recuerdo, los años cuarenta,
cuando con mis padres, pizcaba algodón,
yo me levantaba muy de mañanita,
para irnos temprano, para la labor.
Y con el sereno,de la madrugada
la primer pesada, era la mejor,
y entre todos juntos, hacíamos tres pacas,
pa´cuando quería, calentar el Sol.
Apenas seis años, tenia cumplidos,
y yo no podía, la saca arrastrar,
pero yo quería, ayudarle a mis padres,
con un costalito, me ponía a pizcar
A las meras doce, decía mi madre,
vénganse mis hijos, vamos a comer,
debajo del troque, comíamos todos,
frijoles refrito, papas y café.
Allá en "el Chapeño", estuvimos pizcando,
luego nos pasamos, para Rodhe Star,
allá en Corpus Christy, fue donde probamos,
el primer "hamburguer" con "seven-up".
De aquellas "barracas", después de la cena,
salíamos todos.para descansar,
unos platicando y otros cantando,
con un bajo viejo, para divagar.
Un dia yo y mi padre, nos fuimos al pueblo,
íbamos contentos, yo y mi papá,
con una peseta, fuimos alas vistas,
y hasta le llevamos, pop corn a mama.
Ahora estoy solo, mis padres se han ido,
pero yo los traigo, en mi corazón
el Sol y la Luna han sido testigos,
de cuando anduvimos, pizcando algodón.
Los años cuarenta, la época de oro,
como los añoro, quisiera llorar,
hoy solo han quedado,los bellos recuerdos,
de aquellos momentos que no volverán.
Buenos Recuerdo,a la neta.

Bellos recuerdos de los anos sesentas a los 7 anos andava piscando algodon en el rancho de mi abuelo y con mis tios a ▪︎50 centabos por 100 libras. A los diez anos para el west Tejas a .35 centabos por Hora. Nunca se me olvidara eso. Pero el dinero rendia el 1968. Llo tenia 10 anos y mi Padre que en paz descanza era el majordomo. Piscabamos melon en sacos a .75 centabos la hora cuando Ceasar Chavez pelio la batalla y nos suvieron a 1.35 la hora.
saludos para los músicos fantasmas y mi primo Juan González de Corpus Christi Texas
Like this song, brings back memories from then when we use to work at the Van De Walle fields with my sister in San Antonio and south Texas. This song is great thanks for sharing this video. Hope one day our young folks could under stand that EDUCATION is good in life. That what we had to do in life to succeed in todays technology. Yes farm workers are good people, they work to get good food in our body.

This video shall be forwarded to the racist klu klus klown Donald duck Trump. This shows how our ancestors work to feed the gringos and all around the nation, not let him put us down as what or who we are as latinos or Tejanos. If he eats vegie then he supports the latinos as well. Young farm workers still works for better life for them self and parents. Hope one day farm worker can be known as how people get food on there table, vegies- fruits, and so on.
Well said puro valluco
Lived it.
This video should be sent to Donald Trump
Ted Longoria I agree with you
Ted Longoria but in reality it’s useless though cause he has no clue what it really is to work
that's what we are made of, hard working! the rest is just gravy..don't be a victim!
