Fats Domino - South Of The Border lyrics

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 wonder, their thoughts ever stray South of the border down Mexico way She was a picture in old Spanish lace Just for a little 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 dream that we were parting And I lied as I whispered, "Manana" 'Cause 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 but 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
