When [Em] stars above came [G7] out to play
And now as I [C] wander, [C7] my thoughts ever [F] stray
South of the [C] border, [G7] down Mexico [C] way.
She was a [C] picture [G7] in old Spanish [C] lace
And for a tender while,I [Em] kissed the smile [G7]upon her face
For it was [C] Fiesta [C7] and we were so [F] gay
South of the [C] border, [G7] down Mexico [C]way.
Then she sighed [C] as she whispered [G] manyanna
Never [G7] dreaming that we were [C] parting
And I lied as I [A7] whispered [G7] manyanna
For our [C] tomorrow [G] never [C]came.
Ay ay ay [G] ay … … ay ay ay [C] ay … …Ay ay ay [D7] ay … ay ay ay [G] ay.
South of the [C] border [G7] I rode back one [C] day
There in a veil of white,By [Em] candlelight she [G7] knelt to pray
The mission bells [C] told me [C7] that I mustn't [F] stay
South of the [C] border [G7] down Mexico [C] way.

19. That’s AmoreHarry Warren & Jack Brooks 1952Recorded by Dean Martin
[E7]W h e n t h e [A] moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,
That’s a-[E7]-more;
When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, That’s a-[A]-more.
[E7]Bells will [A]ring “ ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling ”
And you'll sing “ Vita [E7]Bella!”
Hearts’ll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay
Like a gay taran-[A]-tella.
[E7]When the [A]stars make you drool joost-a-like pasta fool, That’s a-[E7]-more;
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, You’re in
[F#m]love… …
When you [D]walk in a dream
But you [Dm]know you’re not dreamin’, [A]signore,
‘Scusa [E7]me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that’s a-[A]-more!’

20. This Ole HouseStuart Hamblen, Mel Tillis, Shakin Stevens:
This ole [C]house once knew my children, [C7]this ole [F]house once knew my wife;
This ole [G7]house was home and comfort as we [C]fought the [F]storms of [C]life.
This old [C]house once rang with laughter, [C7]this old [F]house heard many shouts;
Now she [G7]trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks a-[C]-bout.
Chorus:Ain't a-gonna [F]need this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna [C]need this house no more;
Ain't got [G7]time to fix the shingles, ain't got [C]time to fix the floor,
Ain't got [F]time to oil the hinges nor to [C]mend the window [Am7]pane;
Ain't gonna [G7]need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C]saints.
This ole [C]house is a-gettin' shaky, [C7]this ole [F]house is a-gettin' old;
This ole [G7]house lets in the rain, this ole [C]house lets [F]in the [C]cold.
Oh, my [C]knees are a-gettin' shaky, [C7]but I [F]feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I [G7]see an angel peekin' through a broken window [C]pane.
Chorus
This ole [C]house is afraid of thunder, [C7]this ole [F]house is afraid of storms
This ole [G7]house just groans and trembles, when the [C]night wind [F]flings its
[C]arms
This old [C]house is getting feeble, [C7]this ole [F]house is needing paint
Just like [G7]me its tuckered out but I'm a-getting ready to meet the [C]saints
Chorus
This ole [C]hound dog lies a-sleeping [C7]he don't [F]know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd [G7]wake up by the fireplace, and he'd [C]sit there and [F]howl and
[C]grieve
But my [C]hunting days are over, [C7]ain't gonna [F]hunt the coon no more
Gabriel [G7]done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the [C]door.
Chorus
