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 our tomorrows never came

South of the border I rode back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me
That I mustn't stray
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 our tomorrows never came

South of the border I rode back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight she knelt to pray

The mission bells told me
That I mustn't stray
South of the border down Mexico way

South of the border down Mexico way
