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.
