SOUTH OF THE BORDER
 

South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
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

South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way
