South Of The Border

South Of The Border - Al Bowlly/Phyllis Robins

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 sad as she whispered mayna

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as a whispered mayna

Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border I roll back one day

There in a veil of white by candle light

She knelt to pray

The mission bells told me that I musn't stay

South of the border down Mexico way

Down Mexico way
