South of the Border

South of the border
down mexico way
That's where I fell in love,
where 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
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 manjanna
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered manjanna
'cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border
I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white,
by the candle light
she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me
that I musn't stay
South of the border
down mexico way
