Foster & Allen South Of The Border - The Wayward Wind - Distant Drums
South of the border down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love when the stars above came
out to play
And now that I wander
My thoughts ever stray
South of the border down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered manana
Never dreamed that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered manana
For tomorrow never came
South of the border I jumped backed one day
There in a veil of white by the candle light knelt to
pray
Ah, the mission bells told me that I must not stay
South of the border down Mexico way
I yi yi yi I I I I
I yi yi yi
I yi yi yi
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wand'ring ways
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay
So Mary marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me
