South of the Border Songtext
South of the border down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where 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 a smile upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta and we were so gay
South of the border Mexico way
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manana"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) that I musn't stay
South of the border Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "manana"
That's where I fell in love, where 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 a smile upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta and we were so gay
South of the border Mexico way
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manana"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) that I musn't stay
South of the border Mexico way
