Spanish Is the Loving Tongue
[Verse 1]
Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as music, light as spray
Was a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora way

[Verse 2]
I don't seem much like a lover
Still I hear her soft voice over
Even when I'm all alone
Mi amor, mi corazon

[Verse 3]
On the nights when I would ride
She would listen for my spurs
Throw the big door open wide
Flash those laughing eyes of hers

[Verse 4]
And how the hours would be a-flying
All too soon I'd hear her sighing
In that little sorry tone
Mi amor, mi corazon

[Verse 5]
I haven't seen her since that night
I can't cross the line, you know
Wanted in a gambling fight
Like as not; it's better so
[Verse 6]
Still sometimes I've kind of missed her
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Won her heart and lost my own
Adios mi corazon
