OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I left out of Tucson, with no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the judge had assigned
4 girls promenade, go one time around
Get back home, swing that man and promenade
**And I'll start my life over
On the seashores of old Mexico
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*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, aglow
*She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return
For her Mexican husband, she really had no great concern
**Yeah, we found what we needed on the seashores of old Mexico
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression
Heads pass the ocean, girls you trade
Recycle her and pass thru
Step to a wave, swing thru
Boys run right, bend the line
A right & left thru, turn the girl tonight
You pass the ocean here, recycle around
Swing the corner, promenade
***Yeah, an' things 'll blow over
On the seashores of old Mexico
ALTERNATE LYRICS
***Where I fell asleep
On the seashores of old Mexico
***Yeah, I found what I needed
On the seashores of old Mexico
***Yeah, she loved the gringo
My red hair and lingo, you know
Was Red Boot 3027.
Nelda Eaton does the female version.
