[A] South of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way That's where I fell in love, [E] where [D] stars above
[E] Came out to play And now [A] as I wander, my [D] thoughts ever stray
South [A] of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way She was a picture [E] in [A] old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile [E] upon her face
For it [A] was fiesta, and [D] love had its day South [A] of the border, [E] down [A] Mexico way
Ay, ay, [E] ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, [A] ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Then she sighed as she [E] whispered mañana Never dreaming that we [A] were parting
And I lied as I [D] whispered mañana Or [A] our [E] tomorrow
never came.

South of the border I [E] wrote back one [A]
day.
There in a veil of white,
my [D] candlelight, [E] she knelt to pray.
Her mission [A] bells told me that I [D] shouldn't
stay.
South [A] of the border,
[E] down Mexico [A] way.
Aye, aye, [E] aye, aye, aye.
Aye, aye, [A] aye, aye, aye.
Aye, aye, aye, [E] aye, aye.
Goodbye, [A] goodbye.
