  1. ... "South of the Border"............. (from USA)

    Words & Music by Jimmy Kennedy & Michael Carr

    Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1953

    "South of the border - down Mexico way

    That's 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 - down Mexico way

    Then she smiled as she whispered 'mañana'

    Never dreaming that we were parting

    Then I lied as a whispered "mañana"

    '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 - that I musn't stay

    South of the border - down Mexico way"
