That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play
And now that I wander
My thoughts ever stray
South of the border down Mexico way
Ah, she was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face
It was fiesta we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreamed that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manana
For tomorrow never came
South of the border I jumped backed one day
There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray
Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay
South of the border down Mexico way
I yi yi yi I I I I
I yi yi yi
I yi yi yi
South of the border down Mexico way That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play And now that I wander My thoughts ever stray South of the border down Mexico way Ah, she was a picture in old Spanish lace Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face It was fiesta we were so gay South of the border down Mexico way Then she sighed as she whispered manana Never dreamed that we were parting And I lied as I whispered manana For tomorrow never came South of the border I jumped backed one day There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay South of the border down Mexico way I yi yi yi I I I I I yi yi yi I yi yi yi Explain Request ×
