South Of The Border (ESP 1150) Elmer Sheffield, Jr.
- OPENER Mainstream
Sides face, grand square
*South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play
Allemande and weave
**And now that I wander, my heart ever strays
South of the border, down Mexico way
- ALTERNATE LYRICS
*She was a picture in old Spanish lace
And just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face
**It was fiesta, we danced the night away
*South of the border, down Mexico way
There in a bed of white by candlelight I knelt to pray
**The mission bells told me, you must not stay
- FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade half way, i yi yi yi
Star thru, pass thru, touch 1/4
Follow your neighbor, don't spread
Left swing thru and then left cast off 3/4
Girls walk, boys dodge, and promenade
South of the border, down Mexico way
