Michael Martin Murphey - Spanish Is The Lovin' Tongue lyrics

rate me

1. Spanish is the lovin' tongue

Soft as springtime, light as spray

There was a girl I learned it from

Living down Sonora way

Now I don't look much like a lover

Yet I say her love words over

Late at night when I'm all alone

"Mi amor, mi corazon"

2. There were nights when I would ride

She would listen for my spurs

Fling that big door open wide

Raise those laughing eyes of hers

And how those hours would get to flyin'

Pretty soon, I'd hear her cryin'

"Please don't leave me all alone

Mi amor, mi corazon"

3. Then one night I had to fly

I got into a foolish gamblin' fight

I had a swift goodbye

In that black unlucky night

And traveling north, her words kept ringing

And every word I could hear her singing

"Please don't leave me all alone

Mi amor, mi corazon"

4. Well, I ain't never seen her since that night

I can't cross the line now

She was Mexican, and I was White

Like as not, it's better so

And yet I've always sort of missed her

Since that last wild night I kissed her

I left my heart, but I lost my own

"Mi amor, mi corazon"
