South Of The Border

Shep Fields

SOUTH OF THE BORDER (DOWN MEXICO WAY)Shep Fields/Frank Sinatra(Jimmy Kennedy/Michael Carr)South of the borderDown Mexico wayThat's where I fell in love when stars above came out to playAnd now as I wanderMy thoughts ever straySouth of the borderDown Mexico wayShe was a pictureIn old Spanish laceJust for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her faceFor it was fiestaAnd we were so gaySouth of the borderDown Mexico wayThen she sighed and she whispered "Mañana"Never dreaming that we were partingAnd I lied as I whispered "Mañana"For our tomorrow never cameSouth of the borderI rode back one dayThere in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to prayThe mission bells told meThat I mustn't staySouth of the borderDown Mexico wayAy! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!---------------------------------------------------------
