Seashores Of Old Mexico Lyrics

I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind

I was running from trouble and the jail term the judge had in mind

And the border meant freedom a new life and romance

And that's why I thought I should go

To start my lifes 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

And things will blow over on the seashores of Old Mexico.

Two Mexican farmers enroute to a town I can't say

Let me ride on the back of a flatbed loaded with hay

Down through Durango Colima Almeno then into ManzanilloHank Snow - Seashores Of Old Mexico - http://motolyrics.com/hank-snow/seashores-of-old-mexico-lyrics.html

Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of Old Mexico.

--- Instrumental ---

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

And that's all that I needed to know

And I found what I needed on the seashores of Old Mexico.

Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of Old Mexico...
