Frank Sinatra - South Of The Border lyrics

Writer(s): kennedy/carr<br><br>South of the border - down mexico way<br>That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play<br>And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray<br>South of the border - down mexico way<br><br>She was a picture - in old spanish lace<br>Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face<br>'cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay<br>South of the border - mexico way<br><br>Then she smiled as she whispered manjanna<br>Never dreaming that we were parting<br>Then I lied as a whispered manjanna<br>'cause our tomorrow never came<br><br>South of the border - I jumped back one day<br>There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray<br>The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay<br>South of the border - mexico way
