South Of The Border

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

South of the border down Mexico way

That’s where they fell in love when stars above came out to play

And now as they wander their thoughts ever stray

South of the border down Mexico way

She was a picture in old Spanish lace

Just for a tender while he kissed the smile upon her face

For it was Fiesta and they were so gay

South of the border down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered mananna

Never dreaming that they were parting

And he lied as he whispered mananna

For that tomorrow never came

South of the border he rode back one day

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

The mission bells told him that he mustn’t stay

South of the border down Mexico way

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
