South Of The Border Lyrics

South of the border, down Mexico way That's where I fell in love, when 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
Then she sighed, as she whispered, "Manjanna" Never dreaming that we were parting Then I lied as a whispered, "Manjanna" '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 that I mustn't stay South of the border, Mexico way
The mission bells told me, ding-dong that I must not stay Stay south of the border, down Mexico way
