South Of The Border by Marty Robbins Lyrics

(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!)
(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!)

South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
When stars above came out to play
And now as they wander, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way

And she sighed as she whispered "manana,"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered "manana,"
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

Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
