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 the
Smile upon her face
Cause it was a 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 I whispered
''Manana''
Cause our tomorrow
Never came
South of the Border
I jumped back
One day
There 'neath a veil
Of white by the
Candle light
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
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
