South Of The Border
Ambrose
Music and Lyrics by Michael Carr and Jimmy Kennedy


South of the border down Mexico way
That’s where I fell in love
When stars above came out to play
And now as I wander 
My thought ever stray
South of the border down Mexico way.
She was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while
I kissed the smile upon her face
for it was Fiesta and we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way.
Then She sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied when I whispered manana
For our tomorrow never came,
South of the border I rode back one day
There in a viel of of white
By candle light she knelt to pray 
The mission bells told me
That I mustn’t stray
South of the border down Mexico way.
Ay! Ay! Ay!  Ay!     Ay! Ay! Ay!  Ay!
Ay! Ay! Ay!  Ay!     Ay! Ay! Ay!  Ay!
