South of The Border — текст песни (Frank Sinatra)

Writer(s): kennedy/carr





South of the border - down mexico way

Thats 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 musnt stay

South of the border - mexico way
