Текст Chuck Berry – South Of The Border

South of the border — down Mexico way
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 — Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered «manjanna»
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered «manjanna»
‘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 musn’t stay
South of the border — Mexico way
