Willie Nelson - South Of The Border lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] South of the border, down Mexico way [Verse 2] She was a picture in old Spanish lace And for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face For it was Fiesta, we were so gay [Chorus] [Verse 3] And she smiled and she whispered, "Manana" Never dreaming that we were parting And I lied as I whispered, "Manana" For our tomorrow never came [Bridge] 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 [Chorus]
