Met her in old Mexico She was laughing sad and young In a smokey room no one could see All the poets they agreed Spanish is a loving tongue but She never spoke Spanish to me
She was born in Monterey And all the Christmas songs were sung The padre knew what she'd grow up to be Saints and sinners all agree Spanish is a loving song But she never spoke Spanish to me
Like a lion screamin in the jungleO She never She spoke to all the shadows in her bungalow But she never spoke Spanish to me.
She said 'If you're from Texas, son, Where's your boots and where's your gun?' I smiled and said ' I got guns no one can see!' She laughed at that and both agreed Spanish is a loving tongue but She never spoke Spanish to me.
