(seashores Of) Old Mexico Lyrics - Hank Snow

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
