Marty Robbins - South Of The Border lyrics

rate me

South of the border, down Mexico way, <br />

That's where I fell in love<br />

When stars above came out to play, <br />

And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray<br />

South of the border, down Mexico way.<br />

<br />

And she sighed as she whispered "manana,"<br />

Never dreaming that we were parting<br />

And I lied as I whispered "manana,"<br />

For our tomorrow never came.<br />

<br />

South of the border, I rode back one day.<br />

There in a veil of white by candlelight, <br />

She knelt to pray.<br />

The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay<br />

South of the border, down Mexico way.
