Lyrics:

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 thought 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 sighed as she whispered manana 
Never dreaming that we were parting 
And I lied when I whispered manana 
For our tomorrow never came, 

South of the border I rode back one day 
There in a veil of of white 
By candle light she knelt to pray 
The mission bells told me 
That I mustn't stray 
South of the border down Mexico way. 
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! 
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!
