South of the Border

South Of The Border - Jimmy Donley

Oh 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

Oh yeah

South of the border

Down Mexico way

Oh 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

Oh yeah

South of the border

Down 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

Oh 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 shouldn't stay

Oh yeah

South of the border

Down Mexico way

The mission bells told me that I should't stay

Oh yeah

South of the border

Down Mexico way

Ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya

Ya ya ya ya

Down Mexico way

Down Mexico way
