South Of The Border
As sung by Gene Autry
South Of The Border
[Bb] Ay ay ay ay [F7]ay ay ay ay [Bb] ay ay ay ay [F7]ay ay ay ay [Bb]
South of the [Bb] border, down [F7] Mexico [Bb] way.
[F7] That's where I [F7] fell in love when the [Dm]stars above came [F7] out
to play.
And now as I wander,[Bb7] my thoughts ever [Eb]stray,
South of the [Bb] border, [F7] down Mexico [Bb]
way.
She was a vision in old spanish lace.
And for a tender while, I kissed the smile upon her face.
For it was fiesta and we were so gay,
South of the border, down Mexico way.
[Bb] Then she smiled as she whispered [F7] manana,
Never dreaming that we were part-[Bb]ing,
And I lied as I whispered man-[F7]ana,
For our tomorrow never [Bb] came.
South of the border, I rode back one day,
There in a veil of white, by candle light, she knelt to pray.
The mission bells told me, that I musn't stay,
South of the border, down Mexico way.
Tag
ay ay ay ay, ay ay ay ay.
ay ay ay ay, ay ay ay ay.
