Spanish Is the Loving Tongue Lyrics

Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as music, light as spray
It was a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora way

I don't look much like a lover
Still I say her love words over
Mostly when I'm all alone
Mi amor, mi corazon

Moonlight on the patio
Oh, señora, not too near
Me and Juan talking low
So that madre couldn't hear

Oh, how those hours would go a-flyin'
Oh, too soon I would hear her sighin'
In her sweet and sorry tone
Mi amor, mi corazon

Haven't seen her since that night
I can't cross the line, you know
Wanted for a gamblin' fight
Like as not it's better so

Still I've always kind of missed her
Since that last sad day I kissed her
Broke her heart, lost my own
Adios, mi corazon
