South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)

South of the border 
down Mexico way 
That's where I fell in love, 
where 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 ways 
Just for a tender while, 
I kissed a smile 
upon her face 

For it was fiesta 
and love had it's day 
South of the border 
down Mexico way 

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay 
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay 

Then she sighed as she 
whispered manjanna 
Never dreaming that 
we were parting 

And I lied as a whispered 
manjanna 
for our tomorrow never came 
hra* 
 
South of the border, 
I rode back one day. 
There in a veil of white 
by candlelight, she 
kneeled to pray. 
The mission bells told me, 
that I shouldn'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 
Good bye good bye.
