She Never Spoke Spanish to Me
Met her in old MexicoShe was laughing sad and youngIn a smokey room no-one could seeHer favorite poets all agreedSpanish is a loving tongueBut she never spoke Spanish to meShe was born in MontereyAnd all the Christmas songs were sungThe padre knew what she'd grow up to beSaints and sinners all agreeSpanish is a loving tongueBut she never spoke Spanish to meLike a lion screamin' in the jungleShe never could in what she couldn't seeShe spoke to all the shadows in her bungalowBut she never spoke Spanish to meShe said, "If you're from Texas, sonThen where's your boots and where's your gun?"I smiled and said, "I got guns, no-one can see"We laughed at that, we both agreedLetras de cancionesSpanish is a loving tongueBut she never spoke Spanish to meI left her in old MexicoShe was laughing sad and youngIn a smokey room and no-one could seeHer favorite poets all agreedSpanish is a loving tongueBut she never spoke Spanish to meShe never spoke Spanish to me
