South of the border, down Mexico way.
|
That's where I fell in love when stars above, came out to play.
|
And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray.
|
South of the border, down Mexico way.
|
|
She was a picture, in old spanish lace.
|
Just for a little while I kissed the smile, upon her face.
|
For it was fiesta, and we were so gay
|
South of the border, down Mexico way.
|
|
Then she sighed as she whispered manyana, never dreaming that we were parting.
|
And I lied as I whispered manyana, for our tomorrow never came.
|
|
South of the border, I rode back one day.
|
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she kneelt to pray.
|
The mission bells told me, that I mushn'tt stay.
|
South of the border, down Mexico way.
|
|
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
|
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
|
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
