Hank Snow - (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 Manzanillo Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of Old Mexico ( vibes ) 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
