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 ol' Spanish lace,
- Just 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 sighed as she
whispered "Mañana"
- Never dreamin' that we were
partin',
- And I lied as I
whispered "Mañana"
- 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 mustn't stay,
- South of the border, down
Mexico way!
- Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!. . . Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay!
