South of the border, down Mexico way
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 10:53 AM by DeposeTheBoyKing
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 - down Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered mañana
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as I whispered mañana
’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 mustn’t stay
South of the border - down Mexico way

(inspired by DUer SouthoftheBorderPaul's name and thinking of the Chris Isaak version)

2. One of my Favorite Frank tunes.
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 10:47 AM by WeRQ4U
I love this part of the song:

"Aye aye aye aye"
"Aye aye aye aye"
"Aye Aye aye aye"
"Ayeyeyeyeye"

Good tune.

3. I know there's an episode of the Simpsons that ends with that song.
But I can't remember which one.

Can anybody tell me?

6. Sinatra version. I think it was the Kamp Krusty one, something to do
with Krusty, because Krusty took them down to TJ or someplace as payback for his transgressions, which I think was running the crappy unsafe summer camp. But it could've been a few other Krusty episodes.

``South of the Border''

{rlg} (sung over the closing credits.)

South of the border,

Down Mexico way. after he's drunk of bottle of Tequila]
That's where I fell in love

When stars above came out to play.

And now as I wander,
My thoughts have restrained,
South of the border
Down Mexico way

She was a picture,
In old Spanish lace.
And just 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

(band continues without vocals for ~15 seconds)

Those mission bells told me
That I must not stray.
South of the border,
Down Mexico way!

Ole! (instead of the Gracie `Shhhh!')
