Baja SessionsSouth of the Border (Down Mexico Way) lyrics by Chris Isaak
South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where 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 the smile upon her face
For it was fiesta, and love had its day
South of the border, down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manana
For our tomorrow never came
South of the border, I rode back one day
There in a veil of white by the candlelight, she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay
South of the border, down Mexico way
Bye, good bye
