Al Bowlly - South of the Border Lyrics

Lyrics South of the Border - Al Bowlly




South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love when 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 the 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 partying
And I lied as I whispered, Mañana
For our tomorrow never came
South of the border, I rolled back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight, she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me
That I must escape
South of the border
Down Mexico way
Down Mexico way
