Don Edwards - South of the Border lyrics

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 And for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face 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 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 stay 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 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 stay South of the border, down Mexico way
