South Of The Border

South of the Border, down Mexico way

That's where I fell in love

When 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 we were so gay

South of the border, down Mexico way.

Then she sighed as she whispered"Mañana"

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as I whispered"Mañana"

For that tomorrow never came.

South of the border, I rode back one day

There in a veil of white

By candlelight she knelt to pray

The bells told me that I mustn't stay

South of the border, down Mexico way.

Ay-ay-ay-ay, (Ay-ay-ay-ay,) etc
