[00:00.00]The Seashores Of Old Mexico - Merle Haggard/The Strangers
[00:09.28]I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind
[00:14.73]
[00:18.03]I was runnin' from trouble and
[00:20.56]The jailterm the judge had in mind
[00:23.39]
[00:26.84]And the border meant freedom a new life romance
[00:30.86]
[00:31.45]That's why I thought I should go
[00:34.37]
[00:37.94]And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico
[00:43.22]
[00:46.84]My first night in juarez lost all the money I had
[00:52.03]
[00:55.78]One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad
[01:00.76]
[01:04.41]But I must keep on runnin' it's too late to turn back
[01:09.11]I'm wanted in Tucson I'm told
[01:12.04]
[01:15.32]Yeah an' things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico
[01:20.74]
[01:24.46]Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say
[01:29.62]
[01:33.22]Let me ride on the back of a flatbed halfloaded with hay
[01:38.42]
[01:42.36]Down through durango colima almiera
[01:46.07]
[01:46.82]Then in the manzanillos
[01:49.85]
[01:53.10]Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of old Mexico
[01:58.02]
[02:01.97]After one long siesta I came wide awake in the night
[02:07.17]
[02:10.66]I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight
[02:15.77]
[02:19.69]My newfound companion one young senorita
[02:23.66]
[02:24.25]Who offered a broken hello
[02:26.79]
[02:30.76]To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico
[02:35.94]
[02:39.28]She spoke of sonora and swore that she'd never return
[02:44.74]
[02:48.14]For her Mexican husband she really had no great concern
[02:53.42]
[02:56.95]But she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo
[03:01.49]That's all I needed to know
[03:04.55]
[03:07.85]Yeah I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico
[03:13.12]
[03:16.58]Yeah she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo
[03:20.99]That's all I needed to know ha ha
[03:25.16]
[03:27.36]Yeah I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico
