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 |
That’s why I thought I should go And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico |
My first night in Juarez, I 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 know |
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 in the sunshine 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 |
But she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo |
That’s all I needed to know |
Hey I found what we needed on the seashores of old Mexico |
Yes she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo |
That’s all I needed to know… ahh hah… |
Hey I found what I needed on the seashores of old mexico… |
