I left out of Tucson
With no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble
And the jail-term
The Judge had in mind
With no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble

And the jail-term

The Judge had 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

llost all the money I had
My first night in Juarez

llost 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
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
But I must keep on runnin'

It's too late to turn back

I'm wanted in Tucson I'm told
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
Down through Durango

Colima Almiera

Then in the Manzanillos
Then in the Manzanillos
Where I slept in the sunshine
0n the seashores
Of Old Mexico
After one long siesta

I came wide awake in the night
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
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
That's all I needed to know

Yeah I found what I needed on

The seashores of old Mexico
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
