South Of The Border Lyrics - This Is Sinatra! - Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): Kennedy/Carr 

South of the border - down Mexico way 

That's where I fell in love, where 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 - Mexico way 

Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna" 

Never dreaming that we were parting 

Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna" 

'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - I jumped back one day 

There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray 

The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay 

South of the border - Mexico way
