South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)

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 a picture in 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 sighed as she whispered "Mañana"
 Never dreaming that we were parting
 And I lied as I whispered "Mañana"
 For that tomorrow never came.
 South of the border, I rode back one day
 There in a veil of white
 By candlelight she knelt to pray
 The bells told me that I mustn't stay
 South of the border, down Mexico way.
 Ay-ay-ay-ay, (Ay-ay-ay-ay,) etc
