Lyrics:

South of the border - down mexico way
Thats 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 - down mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered manjanna
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered manjanna
cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I road back one day
There in a veil of white,
by candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me - that I musnt stay
South of the border - down mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered manjanna
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered manjanna
cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I road back one day
There in a veil of white,
by candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me - that I musnt stay
South of the border - down mexico way
South of the border - down mexico way
