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
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 as she whispered "Ma�ana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered "Ma�ana"
For that 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 bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Ay-ay-ay-ay, (Ay-ay-ay-ay,) etc
