I left, out of Tucson, with no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mindAnd 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 hadOne bad senorita made use of one innocent lad
But I must keep on runnin'; it's too late to turn backI'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 nightI 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 lingoThat'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 lingoThat's all I needed to know, ha, ha
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico
