louis prima - south of the border lyrics
[verse 1: louis prima]
a-south of the border, a-down the 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, a-down the mexico way
[verse 2: louis prima]
oh, she was a picture, in old spanish lace
and just for a tender while, i kissed a smile, upon her face
for it was fiesta, and we were so g-y
south of the border, a-down the mexico way
[bridge: louis prima]
then she silent she whispered “mañana”
never dreaming that we were parting
and i lied as a whispered “mañana”
for tomorrow never came
[verse 3: louis prima]
a-south of the border, i’ll roll back one day
there in a veil of white, by the candle light, she knelt to pray
oh, the mission bells told me (ding-dong), that i mustn’t stay
south of the border, a-down the mexico way
