She Never Spoke Spanish to Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met her in old Mexico She was laughin', sad, and young In a smoky room no one could see Her favorite poets all agree Spanish is a lovin' tongue But she never spoke Spanish to me [Verse 2] She was born in Monterey All the Christmas songs were sung Padre knew what she'd grow up to be Saints and sinners all agree Spanish is a lovin' tongue But she never spoke Spanish to me [Bridge] Like a lion screaming in the jungle She never fooled with what she couldn't see She spoke to all the shadows in her bungalow But she never spoke Spanish to me [Verse 3] She said, "If you're from Texas, son Then where's your boots and where's your gun?" I smiled and said, "I got guns no one can see" We laughed at that and both agreed Spanish is a lovin' tongue But she never spoke Spanish to me [Verse 4] I left her in old Mexico She was laughin', sad, and young In a smoky room that no one could see Her favorite poets all agree Spanish is a lovin' tongue But she never spoke Spanish to me She never spoke Spanish to me
