South of the Border

Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay aySouth of the border, down Mexico way
That's where they fell in love when stars above came out to play
And now as they wander, their thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico wayShe was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while he kissed the smile upon her face
For it was Fiesta and they were so gay
South of the border, down Mexico wayThen she sighed as she whispered "Manana"
Never dreaming that they were parting
And he lied as he whispered "Manana"
For that tomorrow never cameSouth of the border, he rode back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray
The mission bells told him that he mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico wayAy ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ay
