- Out on the road with "The Guthrie Family Rides Again" tour, we were asked to record "Deportees" for Mary's Memorial service, November 9th, Monday night. Abe and I mixed and edited the song last night. We were at it until four this
morning. We sent it off and Jacquie said, "It made her cry." I thought I would share this on You Tube!
RIP Mary Travors, we love you!

ARLO'S WONDERFUL VIDEO FOR MARY'S MEMORIAL CELEBRATION:
Dear Arlo,
I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this effort on your part. It's so
very moving, and even though it's not inherently a "tearjerker" it brings
the kinds of tears to the eyes that ennoble the struggle, as well as Mary's
life.
Your having done this for her, Arlo, our friend, means more than I can say.
Love goes out to you in so many, many ways. In this time when in as sense
"the bottom line" is being shared, your own voice will touch the hearts of
those attending.
Please thank your family as well for us. We're grateful in full measure.
Love,
Your brother, Peter
I love Arlo’s speaking voice.He can tell his stories beautifully,in either song or speech.
Still love Peter, Paul and Mary....Thank you, Arlo...for keeping folk music in our hearts and minds..
love PPand M but Chavez was a Communist who helped destroy the grape farmers in MY Valley!!!!
@@conniegomez1321 Do you have even the any idea of the truly horrific condition under which the grape pickers lived and worked? Pro-Union isn't in any way Communism. Your statement is amazingly ignorant.
I grew listening to Peter Paul and Mary.What a treasure. Mary Travers RIP.
I think I have one of their albums, a two LP set. Must get it out and play it.
Put 75 years in. Heard a lot of singers. Arlo is the only one who left me feeling I'd been entertained by a friend who knew how to play the soul cords being strummed in my own heart as each of us (similar ages) as our lives unfolded.
My good friend was Mary's stepson and a pallbearer at her funeral. RIP Mary. Hope you left on something even bigger than a jet plane.
Truly one of the most unique voices to ever grace the American music scene. Thank you Arlo.
Unique voice? Ever listen to Willie Nelson? They sound almost identical. What's unique about sounding like someone else?
Funny, at the beginning I was thinking "This guy sounds like Arlo"
Got to hear him do Alice’s Restaurant at the Newport Folk Festival 1984

Arlo...has always made me feel good and happy over many years...a true icon like his father!
Never sounded better! Thank you Guthrie Family.
It's a crying shame that this song is still needed...What is wrong with this world??!! Thank you, Arlo.
Miss the times, the songs, this man and his stories How lucky to have been there then.
I still miss Mary Travers, and Peter, Paul & Mary!
I honor them by playing their songs now for 50 yrs,.. superb songs and lyrics
ARLO.... THANKS FOR HONORING MARY TRAVERS ...WHO DIED TEN YEARS AGO...FOREVER MISSED🙏 FOREVER LOVED🌹💕🎸🙏😘
Fantastic,!! 👀 Arlo has always been the greatest..
I love this man, and his music, and his life. He has been funny, and generous, and kind. He is part of a legacy, and the continuation of his own legacy.
Hail Arlo
What a great tribute. Beyond being a popular and beautiful singer, Mary was real. She was one of the finest people I've ever met. Her songs, the work of Peter, Paul and Mary, will live on for generations to enjoy. Listen, and understand the messages of these talented folks.
He was so sweet
I see by the post date that this is ten years on, and I doubt you'll see my comment. But I love your songs, your work, and it's sad that more than 70 years after this was written, more than a decade after it was posted to YT, it is still more relevant today than ever. Peace and blessings to you, sir.
Yes. I've known and loved this tragic song for a long time. Thank you for sharing it here.
And it's getting even more important than it was 4 months ago. Sadly...
Well maybe Arlo won't see it but we all will . Thank you for your comment. Well it's May 16 2020 . We are in a Pandemic with the covid 19 ,the borders are closed ,meet packing plants are being closed,crops are left to rot in the fields while food banks run low on food. The migrant workers illegal or legal are dying or testing positive therefore they are getting blamed by many for the packing plants closing. This song could have been written today without changing a word.
@@N1inSK and more relevant on May 16 2020 than 1 month ago. Yes it is sad times to be sure.
@@misred1 Yes. Sadly true, all of it.
We love you Arlo.
Yes, we'd love to see you and the family come "Skunkin'" one day down in Greer, SC
I believe Sarah Lee and Johnny have been there before.

AGAIN, AN AMERICAN LEGEND!!!!!!!
♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Love you, Arlo! Love your father's music, too, and have since I was a very young child. Beautiful tribute to Mary. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️. Here it is, 2020, and these hard working people are still struggling. It breaks my heart to think about the pain and suffering our government is causing these desperate folks from south of the border.
arlo i love the thought of being a ranger. if you are in a tower you get to look for peace in the valley. you an yodel and wait for.echo to return. you will have time to sing billy joel royal song we didn't start the fire but first you have report to the appropriate fire fighting first responds then you have to be safe in Johnny cash's ring of fire. if you are on a trail line you might catch a ride on the wabash cannonball. or a train to the city of new orleans or you can smoke a joint until you can sing johnny denver s song of rocky mountain high with mama cass eliot or was that i leaving on a jet plane or pinkard and bowdens parody im lebanon on a jet plane.
arlo thanks for the memories. according to the briggs meyer test i should have been a lone woofer and one job was a forest ranger it it was a suggestion for at least the 5 times i took briggs meyers test. i was mainframe cobol dinosaur
maybe i could be a glen campbell rhinestone cowboy or toby Keith's should've beena a cowperson or may take the briggs meyer test suggestion i already have a 50 acre pasture that grew up to a 74 acre wood lot. would it grow larger if i were a forester another lone strange. oh well only in america. it suspect that it is 65 acres but will be taxed at 75 acres because the tax accessors need to gain 10 acres some where they gave to an out of state flat lander. my foiled them by enrolling it in the land use program which would offset the taxes. and thick type town has to pick up the difference because the state cannot pay the taxes. i gave the town a chance to reduce my acres to reduce the tax burden to the town but they prefer i keep 10 acres of fake property. a new meaning to the song for this is my land this your land. now it my turn to own 10 acres of invisible. only in america yakoff smirkoff said it best
Arlo and his family! Who could ask 4 more? Beautiful song. Mary would b proud. Thank u Arlo,we love u!!!
Just the words man they say it all...Mary would be very,very proud..
Thank you for your service to our country.
What a great comment, this is what service to your country is about. Not being brainwashed into going overseas and killing people!
God i love you Arlo. Also yo dad.
I love Arlo...his beautiful, yet sad, songs are part of our heritage..what used to be..and thank God for Peter, Paul and Mary as well..
Nothing changed. These songs are just much true today as they were back in the day --
A sad commentary, that touches our core. Always brings a tear to my eye, knowing we can be so much better toward those with limited resources.
Over many years, Arlo has made us laugh, smile, cry and think!
Thanks Arlo... keep it coming! Blessings to you and yours...
She will always still in our memory!
AWESOME!! Especially, being done by the wonderful Guthrie Family. Mary's spirit, along with Pete & Woody's..., shall never die!
Good to recall WHO helped US all so long ago on our paths towards a life's journey of Peace and Earth awareness!
Powerful song. I'm crying.
Me too, brother. Just can't stop. Don't regret it.
I saw Arlo and family in San Luis Obispo last night. I have watched him his entire public life, no reason to be surprised that 50 years of practice makes you an absolute master. Keep up the good work Arlo and thanks.
Thank you Arlo, went to your concerts in the '60's and if i could i'd go now and see yall again. Artistry -> master of eternal truths, to say the least.. want to go to another human and earthly concert...
john g I saw him in the seventies in San Francisco.
I saw Arlo in the 90s at a small venue in WA. My head hurt from laughing so much! He almost talked more than he sang but it was IK by me.
Thank you for honoring Mary !

I love you arlo. iam a big fan of yours
What would we do without folk music? What on earth would we do without such great talent as Arlo and Mary? Been listening to folk music since I first heard City of New Orleans and I was only about 12. Sweet, sweet music 🎼!!!
Arlo is a great teller of stories. His account of him singing Elvis’s ‘Can’t Help Falling’ is terrific. Rock’on Mr. Guthrie.
Soul of honour,dear Arlo,always true.
I've never been able to sing/play this song w/o tears...ever.
Wow
Arlo, I saw you in College in Eastern Washington & was SO Thrilled 😄 ❤I was very close to you and I said thank you so much sweet prince and God bless you❤
Hello Elizabeth Wightman, Compliments of the season to you. I thank you for just being an amazing fan - over the years and following my music. Seriously - I’m so grateful to be able to share my music 🎶 to the world ♥️
Mary Travers. Great voice and hip cool
Person.
Love Arlo and the family. I have seen him in concert several times. On the other hand, I have seen Sara Leigh and her hubby many times. Love them all!
Beauty of soul and fearlessness sees every-one as of value.
I was having a really crappy day until I watched this. Thank you so much.
Lovely lady. Lovely song.
Thank you Arlo for sharing this for all of us to enjoy. What a wonderful tribute. Always enjoy listening to you and your family.
The Deportee song has always struck a chord in my heart.
A minor chord, I assume?
@@fenderstratguy Tacky.
@@reddish32 Lighten up Francis
Thank you for seeing for those of us that can't big hugs!!
Always brings a smile, tears and again a smile, people like him give hope...
Very moving tribute. Arlo sure had a talent for both melody and lyrics.
Hello Barbara Meyer, Compliments of the season to you. I thank you for just being an amazing fan - over the years and following my music. Seriously - I’m so grateful to be able to share my music 🎶 to the world ♥️
I had the pleasure of seeing Arlo last night in Boston. The stories he told are such treasures. It was wonderful to hear him sing This Land Is Your Land and My Peace. A evening I will not forget! Thank you for sharing your life with us Arlo!
The first concert I ever attended was at The Hollywood Bowl and there singing was Peter Paul & Mary, and Pete Seeger. I was age 20. I found a record, my first ever, of Peter Paul & Mary and purchased it. Of course I've got at least one of Arlo Guthrie. I love that record collection and still have a record player. I'm grateful to UA-cam for carrying so many videos of musical greats which I can now easily access. Keep it up Arlo! :-)
Thanks for this
Singingbear, your choice of music and videos is testimony to what a refined human being you are. Credit to you sir.
I remember hearing Joan Baez singing this. I didn't know Woody wrote it, but I learned to play it myself, back in the '70’s during one of the big boycotts. Lettuce, I think, but I don't remember for sure.
I always loved Peter, Paul, and Mary. I was sad to hear of Mary's passing.
jbeargrr first song I ever bought, leaving on a jet plane, Peter, Paul and Mary, fifty years later, still listening to folk music
Judy Collins dud a beautiful rendition of it as a ell.
Seeing Mary as kid in the 90's is one of my treasured memories I have. I grew up around camp fire to the songs her sweat voice once sung. The spirit of folk will carry on around the campfires of the world.
Benjamin Harris
Sweat is perspiration. Mary didn't have a SWEATY voice. She had a *"SWEET"* voice.

The first time I heard "Deportee" was on the Bound For Glory soundtrack. But the first time I realized I could find out who wrote a song so that I would always have that song, even without the songbook, I could find another copy somewhere, was when I read in my second grade music book, "This Land is Your Land," written by Woody Guthrie. Woody has never been far from my life since.
I’m seventy years old, and I was boycotting grapes for so long, I forgot they were out there. I always like it when there is something concrete I could DO. I still do that.
So sweet and so moving.
Mary was good people Big Paul used to sing her lullabies You did good Mary
That's funny! I just left my machine shop, took my dogs for a walk, and had just listened to your "Alice's Restaurant" album on my ancient ipod, right before I left, and here is my computer, playing "Deportees". You sound a bit different than fifty years ago, and it's great to see all the kids, I grew up to your dad, Pete, you, and so many others, you were "family music" in our home. Thanks for all these great years, sincerely.
how lovely
love you Arlo from wood stock til now.
Hello Pamela Barker, Compliments of the season to you. I thank you for just being an amazing fan - over the years and following my music. Seriously - I’m so grateful to be able to share my music 🎶 to the world ♥️
❤Arlo ❤ fell for you when I was 7, never un-fell 🥰🌈🥰🌈
In the pantheon of songs, this stands out as one of the best. I stand behind that.
Loved seeing Arlo and Shenandoah on WCVB TV In Boston. They would show up on “Five All Night Live.” Great live music.
Nice memorial for Mary Travers!!. A long- long time fan thank you. Arlo you always come up with the right thing at the right time. I just love you mate!! Dad to great family heritage
Oh dear lord i love this child
STILL timely! Thanks Arlo and Woody and all. Sara T., a long time Arlo fan.
Thanks for posting this- well done!
Just found this today and was touched by your rendition and remembrance of Mary Travers. Saw Peter and Paul Nov 8, 2019 at Lebanon Opera House, Lebanon, NH.......very excellent show, and the memory of Mary was ever present. Thanks for your tribute Arlo..........Hope to see you in Medford , MA on June 13,2020!
Hi, Len. This Arlo clip touches me. What a tribute to Mary! I think of the braceros I knew who were made to live in dugouts on a foetid creek in northern San Diego County, with 1930s-style gun-thugs running interference for the ranchers--and that was in the 1980s! Fortunately, Alex Cockburn and Tom Hayden put a stop to that practice.
Thank you. I always enjoy listening to you.
It's a shame that 76 years later this song is still so relevant.
The more things change.....the more thy remain the same..... Thank you, Arlo......Perhaps someone should send a copy of this to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Just watched this today 11/30/2018 I thought the same thing. We haven't learned a thing in this country.
A country without borders is not a country ….even Obama knew that....listen to CNN much ? Poor wretches ...
Why? The occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave whom this song was aimed at on Nov 7, 2009
when this was recorded doesn't live there anymore. He cashed in, street hustler that he was, and now has several multimillion-dollar mansions, gated and secure to hide out in. Maybe you can copy this video to a florescent thumb-drive and sling-shot it over the fences if his Secret Service detail doesn't shoot you first. I'm sure he wouldn't mind being disturbed by a little folk who helped make him a fat-cat.
Peace, love and understanding :-)
I hope some of the memorial service, if not all of it, will be posted here! Missing Mary already...
Wonderful song!
What a great storyteller
Arlo, you are and always have been, an American treasure.
Excellent
I love your papa's Songs. He was great. I hope your sucess and you do efforts to be best singer.
I found this video to be incredibly moving...as is always the case when music, love and family unite for an emotional cause. Here tribute is given to the sacrifices of the "deportees" as well as the lives of the strong, beautiful people (including Mary) who gave those deportees a voice. What a treasure you have given us by sharing it with us here. Thank you.
ARLO became an icon early on in his HIPPY years.. sky rocketed with the EPIC BALLAD of "Alice's Resteraunt"!
Very nice, Arlo.
Been a lifetime for me but I still love it. You have done stuff that has influenced my life. Thanks.
This particular song holds some fond memories for me! 'Twas a Thursday evening in Murray's Top-Shop in Lusk, County Dublin when my old friend Dick Delaney (RIP), Denis Murray, Eamon Carroll and I "brought- the- house- down" with a rendition of Deportees.The late Dick with his white guitar, took the lead with the rest of us providing harmony and extra guitar support. Ah... Dem was the days!
Grateful for the couple times i got to see Arlo 😊
Love you Arlo Thank you
thanks I Already looked it up but appreciate your answering WOW fantastic to know Guthrie lives on ! His son is great !
thanks for great tunes!
She is still a light, blinding truth, lovely.
Thank you, Arlo! Thank you, Woodie!
I ADORED her 🌹❤
Well done Arlo. If I knew the day of your concert i would have come all the way from Athens, Greece just to see you and listen to your music.
🤗loved this
Mary was born in Louisville, KY (my hometown), and moved to New York when she was two. Unfortunately, most people in Louisville are unaware of her Louisville roots. Hopefully, there can be a statue/memorial to pay respect for her talent.
Hi Folks, Great clip, Mary came to Worcester to stand for the disabled not too long before she passed. God rest her soul, Amen.
Missing ya @ Fitch State, Cmon' back soon.
God bless,~ Dave
hell why don=t we honor arlo
