South Of The Border

(앨범: Return Of The Wildest - 1961)

A-south of the border, a-down the Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where stars above, came out to play
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, a-down the Mexico way

Oh, she was a picture, in old Spanish lace
And 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, a-down the Mexico way

Then she silent she whispered "mañana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as a whispered "mañana"
For tomorrow never came

A-south of the border, I'll roll back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to pray
Oh, the mission bells told me (ding-dong), that I mustn't stay
South of the border, a-down the Mexico way
