Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass
South of the Border
South of the border, down Mexico wayThat's where I fell in love, when the stars above came out to playAnd now as I wander, my thoughts ever straySouth of the border, down Mexico wayShe was a picture in old Spanish laceJust for a tender while I kissed a smile upon her face'Cause it was fiesta and we were so gaySouth of the border, Mexico wayThen she sighed as she whispered, ?manana?Never dreaming that we were partingAnd I lied as a whispered, ?manana?'Cause our tomorrow never cameSouth of the border, I jumped back one dayThere in a veil of white, by the candlelight, she knelt to prayThe mission bells told me that I mustn't staySouth of the border, Mexico wayThe mission bells told me, ding, dong, that I must not stayStay South of the border, down Mexico way
