Lyrics for Album: Under Western Skies [1996]
  
               
  33995>(Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!)
  (Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!)
 
 
  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 thoughts ever stray
  South of the border, down Mexico way.
 
 
  And she sighed as she whispered "manana,"
  Never dreaming that we were parting
  And I lied as I whispered "manana,"
  For our tomorrow never came.
 
 
  South of the border, I rode back one day.
  There in a veil of white by candlelight,
  She knelt to pray.
  The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
  South of the border, down Mexico way.
 
 
  Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
  Ay-ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ay!
