Daniel O'Donnell South of the Border song lyrics

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 wonder, 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 sighed as she whispered

manyana, never dreaming that we were parting.

And I lied as I whispered manyana, 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.

Aye, aye, aye, aye, (aye, aye, aye, aye)

Aye, aye, aye, aye,

Aye, aye, aye, aye.
