South of the borderdown mexico way.
That s where i fell in love when the
Stars above no comma came out to play.
And now as i wandermy thoughts ever
Stray.
South of the borderdown mexico way.
She was a picturein old spanish lace.
Just for a tender while i kissed the
Smile no comma upon her face.
For it was fiestaand love had its day
it s actually "we were so gay" but i m assuming you know that.
South of the borderdown mexico way.
Ayayayay ayayayay
Ayayayay ayayayay
Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreaming that we were parting.
And i lied as i whispered mananafor our
Tomorrow never came.
South of the borderi rode back one day.
There in a veil of white by the
Candlelightshe knelt to pray.
The mission bells told me no comma that i
Shouldn t stay.
South of the borderdown mexico way.
Ayayayay ayayayay
Ayayayay ayayayay
Ayayayay ayayayay
Good bye good bye.
