He Never Spoke Spanish To Me

Lyrics

I met him in old Mexico He was laughing sad and young In a smokey room where no one could see His favorite poets all agreed Spanish is a loving tongue But he never spoke Spanish to me He was born in Monterrey All the Christmas songs were sung And Padre knew what he'd grow up to be Saints and sinners all agree Spanish is a loving tongue But he never spoke Spanish to me Like a lion screaming in the jungle low He never fooled with things he couldn't see He spoke to all the shadows in his bungalow But he never spoke Spanish to me He said if you're from Texas, woman Where's your boots and where's your gun And I smiled and said I got guns that no one can see Well, we laughed at that, we both agreed Spanish is a loving tongue But he never spoke Spanish to me I left him in old Mexico He was laughing sad and young In a smokey room where no one could see His favorite poets all agreed Spanish is a loving tongue But he never spoke Spanish to me No, he never spoke Spanish to me
