South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) - Lyrics by Chris Isaak


Lyrics
South of the border, down Mexico way.

That's where I fell in love where 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 ways.

Just for a tender while I kissed the smile, upon her face.

For it was fiesta, and love had it's day.

South of the border, down Mexico way.


Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)


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 kneeled to pray.

The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay.

South of the border, down Mexico way.


Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

Good bye good bye.
