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 the picture, in old Spanish lace.
Just for a tender while, I kissed the smile up on her face.
For it was “Fiesta”, 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 whispered “Manana”
For our tomorrows never came.
South of the border, I rode back one day,
There is a veil of white by candle light she knelt to pray!
The mission bells told me, that I must n’t stay,
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 whispered “Manana”
For our tomorrows never came.
South of the border, I rode back one day,
There is a veil of white by candle light she knelt to pray!
The mission bells told me, that I must n’t stay,
South of the border, down Mexico way.
