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
Mexico way.

Then she smiled as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "mañana"
'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 (ding-dong)
That I musn't stay.
South of the border - Mexico way
