South Of The Border (down Mexico Way)

South of the border, down Mexico way

That's where I fell in love, where 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

For it was fiesta, and love had its day

South of the border, down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as I whispered manana

For our tomorrow never came

South of the border, I rode back one day

There in a veil of white by the candlelight, she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay

South of the border, down Mexico way

Bye, good bye
