South Of The Border

Frank Sinatra

Compositor: Alec Lester (Gb 1), Maurais Andre

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 a 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 we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manana
For our tomorrow never came

South of the border
I wrote back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight
She knelt to pray
The bells told me
That I mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way

Then she sighed 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 wrote back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight
She knelt to pray
The bells told me
That I mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way

Ay-ay-ay-ay (ay-ay-ay-au)
Ay-ay-ay-ay (ay-ay-ay-ay)
Ay-ay-ay-ay
