South Of The Border 
 
As sung by Gene Autry 
 
 
South Of The Border 
 
[Bb] Ay ay ay ay [F7]ay ay ay ay [Bb] ay ay ay ay [F7]ay ay ay ay [Bb] 
 
South of the [Bb] border, down [F7] Mexico [Bb] way. 
[F7] That's where I [F7] fell in love when the [Dm]stars above came [F7] out  
to play.  
And now as I wander,[Bb7]  my thoughts ever [Eb]stray, 
South of the [Bb] border, [F7] down Mexico [Bb] 
way. 
 
She was a vision in old spanish lace. 
And 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. 
 
[Bb] Then she smiled as she whispered [F7] manana, 
Never dreaming that we were part-[Bb]ing, 
And I lied as I whispered man-[F7]ana, 
For our tomorrow never [Bb] came. 
 
South of the border, I rode back one day, 
There in a veil of white, by candle light, she knelt to pray. 
The mission bells told me, that I musn't stay, 
South of the border, down Mexico way.

ay ay ay ay,   ay ay ay ay. 
ay ay ay ay,   ay ay ay ay.
