South Of The Border 1939 Gene Autry

South of the border down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
when 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 the smile upon her face.
For it was "Fiesta" and we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way.
Then she sighed as she whispered "Manana"
Never dreaming that were 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 candle light
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!
