Engelbert Humperdinck — South of the Border

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 manana Nеver dreaming that we wеre parting Then I lied as a whispered manana '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 mustn't stay South of the border, Mexico way
