South Of The Border

Writer(s): kennedy/carr





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 "manjanna"

Never dreaming that we were parting

Then i lied as a whispered "manjanna"

'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
