South Of The Border Songtext

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, down Mexico way.

Then she sighed, as she whispered "manana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered, "manana",
`Cause our manana 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, down Mexico way

The mission bells told me, ding, dong, that I must not stay
Stay south of the border, down Mexico way.
