South of the Border
South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
When 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
For 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
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
Then she sighed as she whispered mañana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered mañana
Our tomorrow never came
'Cause her husband Deandre Deplaso
Took one look and said but for one payso
I would happily fracture your faceso
I will never look the same
South of the border, I jumped 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
That's where I fell in love
When 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
For 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
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
Then she sighed as she whispered mañana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered mañana
Our tomorrow never came
'Cause her husband Deandre Deplaso
Took one look and said but for one payso
I would happily fracture your faceso
I will never look the same
South of the border, I jumped 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
