South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) - Willie Nelson

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 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 smiled as she whispered manana

Never dreaming that we 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

But the mission bells told me, that I mustn't stay

South of the border, down Mexico way

-Instrumental Break-

Ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay

Ay ay ay ay
