South Of The Border [Soundtrack Version] Lyrics by Dean Martin
Album : Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
South of the border down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play
And now that I wander
My thoughts ever stray
South of the border down Mexico way.

Ah, she was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face
It was fiesta we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way.

Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreamed that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manana
For tomorrow never came.

South of the border I jumped backed one day
There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray
Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay
South of the border down Mexico way.

I yi yi yi I I I I
I yi yi yi
I yi yi yi...
South of the border down Mexico way   That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play   And now that I wander   My thoughts ever stray   South of the border down Mexico way.      Ah, she was a picture in old Spanish lace   Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face   It was fiesta we were so gay   South of the border down Mexico way.      Then she sighed as she whispered manana   Never dreamed that we were parting   And I lied as I whispered manana   For tomorrow never came.      South of the border I jumped backed one day   There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to pray   Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay   South of the border down Mexico way.      I yi yi yi I I I I   I yi yi yi   I yi yi yi...
