South Of The Border

South Of The Border - Sean Wilson

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

Cause it was fiesta

And we were so gay

South of the border

On Mexico way

Then she sighed

As she whispered manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as a whispered manana

'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border

I wall 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
