mel tormé & billy may - south of the border lyrics

Loading...

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 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 we were so gay
south of the border
down mexico way

then she sighted as she whispered “mañana”
never dreamin’ that we were parting
and i lied as i whispered “mañana”
for our tomorrow never came

south of the border
i rode back one day
there in a veil of white
by candlelight she knelt to pray
the mission bells told me
that i musn’t stay
south of the border
down mexico way
[instrumental break]

then she sighed as she whispered “mañana”
never dreaming that we were parting
and i lied as i whispered “mañana”
our tomorrow never came
’cause her husband, he entered the place+o
took one look and said, “bud, for one peso”
“i would happily fracture your face+o”
i would never look the same

south of the border
i jumped back one day
there in a veil of white, by candlelight she knelt to pray
the mission bells told me
that i musn’t stay
south of the border
down mexico way
