South of the Border

South Of The Border (國境之南) - Flaco Jimenez

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 love must 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 manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as a whispered manana

'Cause 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 smile as she whispered manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as a whispered manana

'Cause our tomorrow never came

A ya ya ya

A ya ya ya

A ya ya ya

A ya ya ya
