South of the border down Mexico way That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play And now that I wander, my thoughts ever stray South of the border down Mexico way Ah, she was a picture in old Spanish lace Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face It was fiesta we were so gay South of the border down Mexico way Then she sighed as she whispered manana Never dreamed that we were parting And I lied as I whispered manana For tomorrow never came South of the border I jumped backed one day There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay South of the border down Mexico way
