South of the Border

South of the Border (国境之南) - Şevket Uğurluer

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 a smile upon her face

For it was fiesta and we were so gay

South of the border

Down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as a whispered manana

Our tomorrow never came

South of the border

I road back one day

There in a veil of white

By the candlelight she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay

South of the border

Down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as a whispered manana

Our tomorrow never came

South of the border I road back one day

There in a veil of white

By the candlelight she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay

South of the border

Down Mexico way

Ah ya ya ya

Ah ya ya ya

Ah ya ya ya

Ah ya ya ya
