SORTA ON THE BORDER
(Irving Gordon / Mack Gordon) (1953)

Recorded by: Tony Martin; Edmundo Ros.


I met my love one day, on the border down El Paso way;
She was a little sad a little gay
She was sorta on the border.

I heard her say, "Senor, tho I kinda like you more and more,
In old Sonora there's a matador,
And I'm sorta on the border."

I vowed that night I would love no other;
I held her tight, and if you want to know what happened,
Brother drop around and see, we've the cutest little family
A girl that looks like her a boy like me,
And one that's sorta on the border.
