Spanish is the loving tongue Soft as silver, light as spray There was a girl I learned it from Living down Sonora Way I dont look much like a lover Still I say her love words over Mostly when Im all alone Mi Amor, Mi Corazon And there were nights when I would ride And she would listen for my spurs Swing that big door open wide And raise those laughing eyes of hers And oh how my heart, it near stopped beating When Id hear her tender greeting Whispered low for me alone Mi Amor, Mi Corazon Moonlight on th patio Old Senora nodding near Me and Juana talking low So hr Madre wouldnt hear And Oh how those hours would get to flyin Pretty soon Id hear her cryin Please dont leave me all alone Mi Amor, Mi Corazon Then one night I had to fly I got into a foolish gambling fight I had to say a swift goodbye In that black, unlucky night Traveling north, the words kept ringing With every hoofbeat, Id hear her singing Please dont leave me all alone Mi Amor, Mi Corazon I aint never seen her since that night I cant cross the line yaknow She was Mexican and I was white Like as not, its better so Yet Ive always sort of missed her Since that very last night that I kissed her I broke her heart, but I lost my own Adios, Mi Corazon
mi, corazon, amor, alone, hear
