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 never 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
Then he lied
As he whispered
Manana
For their tomorrow
Never came
South of the Border
He wrote back
One day
There in a veil
Of white by
Candle light
She knelt and prayed
The mission bells
Told him that
He mustn't stay
South of the Border
Down Mexico way
Aye aye aye aye
Aye aye aye aye
Aye aye aye aye
Aye aye aye aye
Aye aye aye aye
Aye aye aye aye
Aye aye aye aye..
