[D] [G] down Mexico [C] way.
[Em]
[Am] [C] That's where I fell in love when [Gb] stars [Dm] above came [G] out to play.
[Dm] [B] And now [C] as I wonder my thoughts [F] ever stray, south [C] of the border,
[Dm] down [C] Mexico way.
She was [Am] a picture [F] [B] in old [C] Spanish lace, just for a tender [Em] while I kissed [C] the [Dm] smile upon her [G] face.
For it [C] was fiesta and we [F] were so gay, [C] south of the border, [G] down [C] Mexico way.
