South Of The Border Lyrics - Marty Robbins

(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!) 

(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!) 

South of the border, down Mexico way, 

That's where I fell in love 

When stars above came out to play, 

And now as they wander, my thoughts ever stray 

South of the border, down Mexico way. 

And she sighed as she whispered "manana," 

Never dreaming that we were parting 

And 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 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!
