South of the border, down Mexico way
|
That's where I fell in love, when the stars above came out to play
|
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray
|
South of the border, down Mexico way
|
|
She was a picture in old Spanish lace
|
Just for a tender while I kissed a smile upon her face
|
'Cause it was fiesta and we were so gay
|
South of the border, Mexico way
|
|
Then she sighed as she whispered,?manana[?]
|
Never dreaming that we were parting
|
And I lied as a whispered,?manana[?]
|
'Cause our tomorrow never came
|
|
South of the border, I jumped back one day
|
There in a veil of white, by the candlelight, she knelt to pray
|
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
|
South of the border, Mexico way
|
|
The mission bells told me, ding, dong, that I must not stay
|
Stay South of the border, down Mexico way
|
