国境の南

South of the border down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love when the 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 a fiesta and we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered “Manana”
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as I whispered“Manana”
For our tomorrow never came

South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border down Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered “Manana”
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as I whispered“Manana”
For our tomorrow never came

South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border down Mexico way

Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!...
