South Of The Border

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

Ay ay ay ay

Oh oh oh oh

Ay ay ay ay

Oh oh oh 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

South of the border

Down Mexico way

She was a picture and 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 sade as

She whispered manana

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as I whispered manana

For our tomorrow never came

South of the border

I rode back one day

There in a veil of white

By candle light she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me

That I mustn't stay

South of the border

Down Mexico way

Ay ay ay ay

Oh oh oh oh

Ay ay ay ay

Oh oh oh oh
