K.) Written by: Michael Carr Lyrics: South of the Border Writer(s): J. Kennedy / M. Carr South of the border down Mexico way - that's where I fell in love, Where the 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 'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay, south of the border down Mexico way Then she smiled as she whispered "ma¤ana", never dreaming that we were parting Then I lied as I whispered "ma¤ana", 'cause our tomorrow never came. South of the border I came back one day There in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to pray The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay South of the border down Mexico way Contributed by Larry Henares of the Philippines {larryh@mydestiny.net} |
