with
with
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 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 smiled as she whispered manjana
Never dreaming that we were parting,
Then I lied as awhispered manjanna
cause our tomorrow never came
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 that I mustn’t stay
South of the border down Mexico way
