[Verse 1]
  D           A           D       A         Em A Em A
I left out of Tucson with no destination in mind
      Em           A               Em            A            D A D A
I was running from trouble and the jail term the judge had in mind
        Am           D         Am        D
And the border meant freedom a new life, romance
Am           D                G Em G Em
That's why I thought I should go
                  A           Em           A       D A D A
And start my life 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
      Am           D           Am           D
But I must keep on runnin' it's too late to turn back
    Am        D          G Em G Em
I'm wanted in Tucson I'm told

Two Mexican farmers enroute to a town I can't say
       Em          A         Em           A           D A D A
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half loaded with hay
Am           D       Am     D      Am        D       G Em G Em
Down through Durango Colima Almera then into Manzanillo

Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of Old Mexico
