South of the Border

South of the Border - Horace Heidt/His Musical Knights

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 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 the smile upon her face

For it was fiesta

And we were so gay

South of the border

Down mexico way

Then she sighed and she whispered ma ana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as I whispered ma ana

For our tomorrow never came

South of the border

I rode back one day

There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me

That I mustn't stay

South of the border

Down mexico way

Down mexico way
