The Seashores Of Old Mexico

I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble and the
Jail-term the Judge had in mind
And the border meant freedom
A new life romance
And that's why I thought I should go
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico
My first night in Juarez lost all the money I had
One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad
But I must keep on runnin'
It's too late to turn back:
I'm wanted in Tucson I'm told
Yeah an'things'll blow over on the
Seashores of old Mexico
Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say
Let me ride on the back of a
Flatbed half-loaded with hay
Down through Durango Colima Almiera
Then in the Manzanillos
Where I slept on the seashores of old Mexico
After one long siesta I came wide awake in the night
I was startled by someone who
Shadowed the pale moonlight
My new-found companion one young senorita
Who offered a broken hello
To the gringo she found on the
Seashores of old Mexico
She spoke of Sonora
And swore that she'd never return
For her Mexican husband
She really had no great concern
Cause she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo:
That's all I needed to know
Yeah I found what I needed on the
Seashores of old Mexico
Yeah she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo:
That's all I needed to know ha ha
Yeah I found what I needed on the
Seashores of old Mexico
