Chris Isaak South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) Lyrics

South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) lyrics
Songwriters: Michael Carr;James Kennedy




South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where 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 love had its day
South of the border, down Mexico way
( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/chris-isaak-lyrics/south-of-the-border-(Down-mexico-way)-lyrics.html )

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 rode back one day
There in a veil of white by the candlelight, she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way

Bye, good bye
