Berry, Chuck - South Of The Border Lyrics






South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way

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
South of the border - Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way

    I'm a travelling salesman
    I travel over the world
    And I leave my wife at home
    Trusting she'll be a good little girl
    And we have a roamer
    And our family
    And here is the story
    Of what that louse did to me

    That louse of a roamer
    From New Mexico way
    No doubt that jerk
    From Albuquerque
    He's in dat same mood today
    What he did to my fiancée
    While I was away
    South of her border
    Down Mexico way

    When I came home
    The little bambino was crying
    And I think I heard
    It murmur so tenderly
    Then I think I heard it say
    Manana
    And, folks, you can see
    It ain't one drop of Spanish in me

    South of the border
    I rode back one day
    And I shot him right between
    His Rio Grande and his Santa Fe
    There's one thing I know now
    Oh, he'll never play
    South of her border
    Down Mexico way.

    F.... A....

  6. S.... S....

    Shot him right between his rio grande and his Santa Fe.
    One thing I know now
    He'll never play
    South of her border
    Down in Mexico bay.

    Pls, I really like this song. But as I'm a frenchspeaker it is very difficult for me to catch all the words used by Chuck. Sometimes the public laughs when he is pronouncing some words, but I don't know why, cause I don't understand. I could if I could watch the lyrics. Pls, I want you transcribe the lyrics of the song for me...in english of course. Pls, pls, pls.Thanks in advance. BEN
