Spanish is the loving tongue,
Soft as music, light as spray:
'Twas a girl I learned it from,
Living down Sonora way.
I don't look much like a lover,
Still I hear her love words over,
Mostly when I'm all alone,
"Mi amor, mi corazón."
On the nights that I would ride
She would listen for my spurs,
Throw that big door open wide,
Raise those laughin' eyes of hers;
Oh how the night would go a-flyin'!
All too soon I'd hear her sighin'
In her sweet and quiet tone
"Mi amor, mi corazón."
Haven"t seen her since that night
I can't cross the line, you know.
They want me for a gambling fight
Like as not, it"s better so
Still I always kind of missed her
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Left her heart, I broke my own
"Adios, mi corazón!"
