Octopus South Of The Border
South of the border down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love
When 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 we were so gay
South of the border down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered mañana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered mañana
For our tomorrows never came
South of the border I rode back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me
That I mustn't stray
South of the border down Mexico way
Then she sighed as she whispered mañana
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as I whispered mañana
For our tomorrows never came
South of the border I rode back one day
There in a veil of white
By candlelight she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me
That I mustn't stray
South of the border down Mexico way
South of the border down Mexico way
