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 the
Smile upon her face.
For it was fiesta, and love had it's day
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′ for our
Tomorrow never came.
South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white by the
Candlelight, she knelt to pray.
The mission bells told me that I
Shouldn′t stay
South of the border, down Mexico way."
