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.

Closer Lyrics

She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return,
For her Mexican husband, she really had no great concern.

Recycle her and pass thru
Step to a wave, swing thru
Boys run right, bend the line
A right and 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.
