South of the border down Mexico way
|
That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play
|
And now that I wander
|
My thoughts ever stray
|
South of the border down Mexico way
|
|
Ah, she was a picture in old Spanish lace
|
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face
|
It was fiesta we were so gay
|
South of the border down Mexico way
|
|
Then she sighed as she whispered manana
|
Never dreamed that we were parting
|
And I lied as I whispered manana
|
For tomorrow never came
|
|
South of the border I jumped backed one day
|
There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray
|
Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay
|
South of the border down Mexico way
|
|
I yi yi yi I I I I
|
I yi yi yi
|
I yi yi yi
|
