Chuck Berry - 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
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
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way

Chuck Berry South Of The Border Comments
Grande Chuck, Grande. RIP El mas Grande. :(
The man invented Rock and Roll and remains it's finest exponent....
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.
what does it mean "dat" (maybe "that")?
❤️❤️❤️
And his missing balls told me, no longer he'd play South of the bouudoir down Mexico Way. I was tempted to say South of the border don Sexico Way but I did'nt want to geld the lily
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
South of the border and I rode back one day
And I shoot him right between his Rio Grande and his ???
Who is able to write the last words of the previous line?
Thank you in advance!
