Verse 1:

      

  

A   -   -   -  |   A   -   -   -  | F#m -   -   -  |   F#m -   -   -  |

I crossed the mississippi, turned | South at San Antone

E   -   -   -  |   E   -   -   -  | D   -  -  -    |   A   -   -   -  |

A bowie knife, a wooly coat, a    | grip bag  on  my  arm.  

A   -   -   -  |   A   -   -   -  | F#m -   -   -  |   F#m -   -   -  |

It's all somebody needs           | To make it through the land

E   -   -   -  |   E   -   -   -  | D   -  -  -    |   A   -   -   -  |

Walk by night, travel light       |  Cross the Rio   Grande

Chorus 1:

   F#m -  -  -    |   D   -   -   -  |

   Someone strums  a mandoline

   A   -  -  -    |   E   -   -   -  |

   Soft gulf breezes blow

   A   -  -  -    |   D   -   -   -  |

   My new life is waiting

   E   -  -  -    |   A   -   -   -  |

   In old Mexico

Verse 2: (Lyrics)

    

  

I was once a married man livin' peacefully

Hard to say exactly when the devil blinded me

There was some confussion with my sweet wife of this world

Darker times and drunken crimes a dead young working girl

Chorus 2: (Lyrics)

I left a jailer there in Caroline

Watching me from down below

My new life is waiting

In old Mexico

Bridge:

F#m -  -  -   | D  -  -  -  | F#m -  -  -  |  D  -  -  - |

Livin in the shadows          Runnin from my pain

G?  -  -  -   | A  -  -  -  | D  -   -  -  |  E  -  -  - |

Goin where the wind blows and no one knows my name

Verse 3:  (Lyrics)

In a vaquero bar in the town of Eagle Pass

Moments from my freedom, warm wiskey in my glass

Some boracho took for the man who stole his wife

He went for his forty four as I reached for my knife

Chorus 3: (Lyrics)

He never fired a second shot

He was just too slow

My new life is waiting

In old Mexico

Verse 4: (Lyrics)

I hid in the mountains south of Mazulblan

Where cool spring mountain waters meet the warm pacific sun

I pray all the miles I've traveled and all the sins I've bared

Burn away like morning fog and vanish in the air

Chorus 4: (Lyrics)

Miles beyond the border now

But many miles to go

My new life is waiting

In old Mexico

My new life is waiting

In old Mexico
