South of the border, down Mexico way

That's where I fell in love, where the stars above came out to play

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

Never dreaming that we were parting

The mission bells told me that I musn't stay

South of the border, down Mexico way
