South Of The Border Lyrics

(Michael Carr - Jimmy Kennedy)

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.

Ah she was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face
It was fiesta we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way.

Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreamed that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manana
For I tomorrow never came.

South of the border I jumped backed one day
There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray
Ah the mission bells told me that I must not stay
South of the border down Mexico way.

Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai...
