South Of The Border Lyrics - Let's Face The Music And Dance - Willie Nelson

South of the border down Mexico way 

That's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play 

Now as I wander my thoughts ever stray south of the border down Mexico way 

She was a picture in old Spanish lace 

And for a tender while I kissed the smile opon her face 

For it was Fiesta we were so gay south of the border down Mexico way 

And she smiled and she whispered Manana 

Never dreaming that we were parting 

And I lied and 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 

And the mission bells told me that I mustn't stay 

South of the border down Mexico way 

(guitar) 

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay 

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
