South of the border - down mexico way lp version by Chris Isaak Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2015

South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love where stars above, came out to play
And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way
She was a picture, in old spanish ways
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face
For it was fiesta, and love had it's day
South of the border, down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered manyana, never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manyana, for our tomorrow never came
South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she kneeled to pray
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way
Good bye good bye
