SPANISH IS THE LOVING TONGUE (Charles Badger Clark, Jr., Revised Version) Spanish is the loving tongue Soft as music, light as spray; 'Twas a girl I learned it from Living down Sonora way. I don't look much like a lover, Yet I say her soft words over. Mostly when I'm all alone "Mi amor, mi corazon" Nights there were when I would ride She would listen for my spurs, Throw the big door open wide, Raise them laughing eyes of hers. How the night would soon go flyin! All too soon i'd hear her sighin' In her little sorry tone --- "Adios, mi corazon." Never seen her since that night, I can't cross the line, you know. Tney want me for a gamblin' fight Like as not it's better so. Yet I've always sort of missed her Since that last sad night I kissed her; Lost my heart and left alone "Adios, mi corazon."
