Cooke, Sam - South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) Lyrics
Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
down Mexico way
that's where I fell in love
when stars above came out to play
and now as I wonder
my thoughts ever stray
south of the border
down Mexico way
she was the picture
just for a tender while
I kissed the smile
upon her face
for it was siesta
and we were so gay
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 whisperd manana
for our tomorrow never came
south of the border
I rode back one day
there in a veil of white by candlelight
she kneeled to pray
the missionbells told me
that I musn't stay
south of the border
down mexico way
Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh

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 siesta
and we were so gay
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 whisperd manana
for our tomorrow never came
South of the border
I rode back one day
there in a veil of white by candlelight
she kneeled to pray
the mission bells told me
that I musn't stay
south of the border
down Mexico way

Sam Cooke perfects every genre. God gave Sam a voice that is the envy of every singer.
ONE OF A KIND &MIGHTY ,MIGHTY FANTASTIC!!
Cooke transcends categories and his is one of the best versions of "South of the Border." Patsy Cline also did a fine job on this number.
Sam Cooke was simply the best and the greatest singer of all with the smoothest voice I'm still waiting for another sam cooke to come along there will never be another sam cooke
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE SAM!!!!
This is nice, but I prefer Gene Autry's version. I dont like when Pop singers mess up good Country songs But at least he didn't do as bad as Frank Sinatra, lol.
Sorry but Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves and Hank Williams were MILES ahead of all the rest of the Country performers, especially today`s stuff that I really don`t care-for at all!
@thebigfist
I like some of her songs, But she did over emote on some.
i like the blue diamonts more
@thebigfist No, most country singers do not caterwall. Only the female ones do.
Explain just what Sam Cooke did to mess this song up?
Amazon had the cd, cooke' tour, check to see if they still has it
It is my honest belief that Sam was most valuable in his times.
But as times go by, I think his work and image continue to enlarge more and more each day.
They dont make them like him anymore.
