South Of The Border Lyrics - Heritage - The Irish Tenors

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, Mexico way 

Then she sighed, 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 that I mustn't stay 

South of the border, Mexico way
