South of the Border Songtext
von Willie Nelson

South of the border down Mexico way
That′s where I fell in love when stars above came out to play
For it was Fiesta, we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way


She was a picture in old Spanish lace
And for a tender while, I kissed the smile upon her face
For it was Fiesta, we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way

South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white by candlelight she knelt to pray
And the mission bells told me that I mustn'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
