South Of The Border

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
