South of the Border, Down Mexico way
|
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to play
|
And now as they wander, their thoughts ever stray
|
South of the border, down Mexico way
|
|
She was a picture in old Spanish lace
|
Just for a tender while
|
He kissed the smile
|
Upon her face
|
For it was "Fiesta" and they were so gay
|
South of the border, down Mexico way
|
|
Then she sighed as she whispered "Manana"
|
Never dreaming that they were parting
|
And he lied as he whispered "Manana"
|
For that tomorrow never came
|
|
South of the border, he rode back one day
|
There in a veil of white
|
By candlelight
|
She knelt to pray
|
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay
|
South of the border, down Mexico way
|
|
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
|
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay
|
