Spanish Is The Lovin' Tongue Traditional Cowboy Song Recorded by Michael Martin Murphey Spanish Is The Lovin' Tongue Bb Eb 1. Spanish is the lovin' tongue Bb F7 Soft as springtime, light as spray Bb Eb There was a girl I learned it from Bb F7 Bb Living down Sonora way Bb Bb7 Eb Bb Now I don't look much like a lover F7 Yet I say her love words over Bb Eb Late at night when I'm all alone Bb F7 Bb "Mi amor, mi corazon" 2. There were nights when I would ride She would listen for my spurs Fling that big door open wide Raise those laughing eyes of hers And how those hours would get to flyin' Pretty soon, I'd hear her cryin' "Please don't leave me all alone Mi amor, mi corazon" 3. Then one night I had to fly I got into a foolish gamblin' fight I had a swift goodbye In that black unlucky night And traveling north, her words kept ringing And every word I could hear her singing "Please don't leave me all alone Mi amor, mi corazon" 4. Well, I ain't never seen her since that night I can't cross the line now She was Mexican, and I was White Like as not, it's better so And yet I've always sort of missed her Since that last wild night I kissed her I left my heart, but I lost my own "Mi amor, mi corazon"
