Lyrics South Of The Border

South of the border
Down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
when stars above came out to play
For it was fiesta
And we were so gay
South of the border
Down Mexico way

She was a picture
In old Spanish lace
And for a tender while
I kissed the smile upon her face
For it was fiesta
And we were so gay
South of the border
Down Mexico way

South of the border
I rode back one day
There in a veil of white
by candlelight 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!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
