Lyrics - South of The Border by Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): kennedy/carr
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 manjanna
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then
I lied as a whispered manjanna’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 musn’t stay
South of the border - mexico way
