South of the Border
South of the border, down Mexico wayThat's where I fell in love, where the stars above, came out to playAnd now as I wander, my thoughts ever straySouth of the border, down Mexico wayShe was a picture, in old Spanish laceJust for a tender while, I kissed a smile, upon her face'Cause it was fiesta, and we were so gaySouth of the border, Mexico wayThen she smiled as she whispered "manana"Never dreaming that we were partingThen I lied as a whispered "manana"'Cause our tomorrow never cameSouth of the border, I jumped back one dayThere in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to prayThe mission bells told me (ding-dong), that I musn't staySouth of the border, Mexico way Aus Songtexte Mania
