Don Mclean - South Of The Border Lyrics

[Intro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay

[Verse 1]
South of the border, down Mexico way
That's when I fell in love, when the stars above came out to play
For it was fiesta, a high holiday
South of the border, down Mexico way

[Verse 2]
She was a picture in old Spanish lace
And for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face
For the mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way

[Verse 3]
Then she sighed as she whispered, "Mañana"
Never dreaming that we were partin'
And I lied as I whispered, "Mañana
For our tomorrows never came

[Verse 4]
South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candlelight, she knelt to pray
And now as I wandered, my thoughts ever strayed
South of the border, down Mexico way
[Outro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
