Il testo della South of the border

Writer(s): kennedy/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 - mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then i lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - i jumped 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 - mexico way
