The Seashores of Old Mexico

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

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 MexicoMy 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 MexicoTwo 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 MexicoAfter 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 MexicoShe 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 MexicoYeah, 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
