South Of The Border - Patti Page
Written by:Jimmy Kennedy/Michael Carr
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 a smile
Upon her face
Cause it was fiesta
And we were so gay
South of the border
On mexico way
Then she sighed
As she whispered manana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as a whispered manana
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border
I wall back one day
There in a veil of white
By the candlelight
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
And I lied as a whispered manana
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border
I wall back one day
There in a veil of white
By the candlelight
She knelt to pray
The mission bells told me
That I mustn't stay
South of the border down mexico way
