South Of The Border Lyrics

South Of The Border lyrics

SOUTH OF THE BORDER (DOWN MEXICO WAY)
Shep Fields/Frank Sinatra
(Jimmy
Kennedy/Michael Carr)

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 and she
whispered "Maana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I
whispered "Maana"
For our 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 mission bells told me
That I mustn't stay
South of
the border
Down Mexico way

Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ay!
