-3* -5* 7 -7* -7* 8 8 7*-6 -5*
South of the bor-der, down Mex-i-co way,
-5* 7 -7* -9* -9* -9*
That’s where I fell in love
-9* -9 -9 8 8 -7* 7* -6
when stars a-bove came out to play.
-7* -7* -7 7* 7 -5*
And now as I wan-der,
-9* -9* -9 9* 8
my thoughts ev-er stray,
-9* 8 7* 7 -7* 8 8 7*-6 -5*
South of the bor-der, down Mex-i-co way.
-3* -5* 7 -7* -7* 8 8 7* -6 -5*
She was a pic-ture in old Span-ish lace.
-5* 7 -7*-9* -9* -9*
Just for a ten-der while
-9 -9 -9 8 8 -7* 7* -6
I kissed the smile up-on her face.
-7* -7* -7 7* 7 -5* -9* -9* -9 9* 9
For it was fi-es-ta and we were so gay.
-9* 8 7* 7 -7* 8 8 7*-6 -5*
South of the bor-der, down Mex-i-co way.
7 7* -7* 7 7* -7* -9
Then she sighed as she whis-pered,
8 -7* 7*
“Ma-na-na,”
-6 7 7* 7 7* 8 -7* 7* 7
Nev-er dream-ing that we were part-ing.
7 7* -7* 7 7* -7* 8* 8 -7* 7*
And I lied as I whis-pered, “Ma-na-na,”
8 -7* 7* 7 -7* 7* -6 -5*
For our to-mor-row nev-er came.
-3* -5* 7 -7* -7*
South of the bor-der,
8 8 7* -6 -5*
I rode back one day.
-5* 7 -7* -9* -9* -9*
There in a veil of white
-9* -9 -9 8 8 -7* 7* -6
by can-dle-light she knelt to pray.
-7* -7* -7 7* 7 -5*
The mis-sion bells told me,
-9* -9* -9 9* 9
that I must-n’t stay
-9* 8 7* 7 -7* 8 8 7*-6 -5*
South of the bor-der, down Mex-i-co way.
-7* 8 -7* -9 -7* -9 -10 -9*
ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
-7* 8 -7* -9 -7* -9 -10 -9*
