作词 : Keen
I crossed the
Mississippi, turned south at
San Antone
A bowie knife, a woolen coat, a grip bag on my arm
It's all somebody needs to make it through the land
Walk the night, travel light, cross the
Rio Grande
Someone strums a mandolin, soft gulf breezes blow
My new life is waiting in old
Mexico I was once a married man livin' peacefully
Hard to say exactly when the devil blinded me
But there was some confusion when my sweet wife left this world
Darker times, drunken crimes, a dead young working girl
Left a jailer there in
Caroline, watching me from down below
My new life is waiting in old
Mexico Livin' in the shadows
Runnin' from my fame
Blowin' where the wind blows
Where no one knows my name
In the El
Vaquero Bar in the town of
Eagle Pass
Moments from my freedom warm whiskey in my glass
Some boracho took me for the man who stole his wife
He went for his forty-four as
I reached for my knife
He never fired a second shot he was just too slow
My new life is waiting in old
Mexico I hear of hidden harbors south of
Mazatlan Where cool spring mountain waters meet the warm
Pacific sun
I pray the miles
I've traveled and all the sins
I bear Burn away like mornin' fog and vanish in the air
Miles beyond the border now, but many miles to go
My new life is waiting in old
Mexico
