South of the Border
South of the border down Mexico wayThat's where I fell in love, where the stars above came out to playAnd now as I wander my thoughts ever straySouth of the border down Mexico wayShe was a picture in old Spanish laceJust for a tender while, I kissed a smile upon her face'Cause it was fiesta and we were so gaySouth of the border Mexico wayThen she smiled as she whispered "manana"Never dreaming that we were partingThen I lied as a whispered "manana"'Cause our tomorrow never cameSouth of the border I jumped back one dayThere in a veil of white, by the candle light she knelt to prayThe mission bells told me (ding-dong) that I musn't staySouth of the border Mexico way
