South Of The Border

South Of The Border - Sam Cooke (山姆·庫克)

Ai-ai-ai-ai

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ai-ai-ai-ai

Oh-oh-oh-oh

South of the border

Down Mexico way

That's where I fell in love

When stars above came out to play

And now as I wonder

My thoughts ever stray

South of the border

Down Mexico way

She was the picture

In old Spanish lace

Just for a tender while

I kissed the smile

Upon her face

For it was siesta

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 I whisperd manana

For our tomorrow never came

South of the border

I rode back one day

There in a veil of white by candlelight

She kneeled to pray

The missionbells told me

That I musn't stay

South of the border

Down mexico way

Ai-ai-ai-ai

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ai-ai-ai-ai

Oh-oh-oh-oh
