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
