| Song | South Of The Border |
| Artist | Don McLean |
| Album | Prime Time |
| 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, manana[?] | |
| Never dreaming that we were parting | |
| And 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 candlelight, 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 |
| 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, manana? | |
| Never dreaming that we were parting | |
| And 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 candlelight, 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 |
