Píseň: South Of The Border

Album:: Cooke's Tour

Ai-ai-ai-ai
 oh-oh-oh-oh
 ai-ai-ai-ai
 oh-oh-oh-oh


 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 wonder
 my thoughts ever stray
 south of the border
 down Mexico way


 she was the picture
 in old Spanish lace
 just for a tender while
 I kissed the smile
 upon her face
 for it was siesta
 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 as I whisperd manana
 for our tomorrow never came


 south of the border
 I rode back one day
 there in a veil of white by candlelight
 she kneeled to pray
 the missionbells told me
 that I musn't stay
 south of the border
 down mexico way


 Ai-ai-ai-ai
 oh-oh-oh-oh
