South Of The Border
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
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 vision in old spanish lace.
And for a tender 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 smiled as she whispered manana,
Never dreaming that we were part-ing,
And I lied as I whispered man-ana,
For our tomorrow never came.
South of the border, I rode back one day,
There in a veil of white, by candle light, she knelt to pray.
The mission bells told me, that I musn't stay,
South of the border, down Mexico way.
