Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met her in ol' Mexico
She was laughin', sad and young
A smoky room where no one could see
[Verse 2]
Her favorite poets all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
[Verse 3]
She was born in Monterrey
All the Christmas songs were sung
The Padres knew what she would grow up to be
[Verse 4]
Saints and sinners all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
[Verse 5]
Like a lion screamin' in the jungle, oh
She'd never fool with things she couldn't see
She spoke to all the shadows in her bungalow
But she never spoke Spanish to me
[Verse 6]
She said, "If you're from Texas, so
Where's your boots and where's your gun?"
Well, I got guns that no one can see
[Verse 7]
Well, after that we both agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
Well, she never spoke Spanish to me
