South of the border, down Mexborough way,
That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play,
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray,
South of the border, down Mexborogh way!

She was a picture in Nottingham lace,
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face,
in her"Fiesta" and we were so gay,
South of the border, down Mexborough way!

Then she sighed as she ate a"Bañana"
Never dreamin' that i was crying

And she Sighed as saw my lovely cabana"
For my cabana blew away!

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 mustn't stay,
South of the border, down Mexborough way!
