|
south of the border, down mexico way |
|
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to play |
|
And now as they wander, their thoughts ever stray |
|
South of the border, down mexico way |
|
She was a picture in old spanish lace |
|
Just for a tender while |
|
He kissed the smile |
|
Upon her face |
|
For it was 'fiesta' and they were so gay |
|
South of the border, down mexico way |
|
Then she sighed as she whispered 'manana' |
|
Never dreaming that they were parting |
|
And he lied as he whispered 'manana' |
|
For that tomorrow never came |
|
South of the border, he rode back one day |
|
There in a veil of white |
|
By candlelight |
|
She knelt to pray |
|
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay |
|
South of the border, down mexico way |
|
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay |
|
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay |
