Tune: Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a dumping ground in Texas,
For radioactive waste.
They'll send it by the boxcar,
'Cross half a dozen states.
They've made themselves a compact,
And shook the devil's hand.
They'll dump it all in Texas,
Down beside the Rio Grande.

It's coming from New England,
>From Maine and from Vermont.
It's full of all the poisons
New England doesn't want.
It's the deadliest of cargos,
That's ever known to man,
So they'll dump it all in Texas,
Down beside the Rio Grande.

Down in Sierra Blanca,
The people know the score.
Nobody listens to you
If you're Mexican and poor.
Money is the language
The governor understands,
So they'll dump it all in Texas,
Down beside the Rio Grande.

So, people of New England,
I know the choice is hard,
But don't go dumping garbage
In someone else's yard.
We're all in this together,
To stop this caravan.
Or they'll dump it all in Texas,
Down beside the Rio Grande.
