Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as music, light as spring
Was a girl that I learned it from
Living down Sonora way

I don't look much like a lover
But I say her love words over
Mostly when I'm all alone
"Mi amor, mi corazón"

On the nights that I would ride
She would listen for my spurs
Throw those big doors open wide
And raise those laughing eyes of hers

How those hours get to flying
All too soon I'd hear her sighing
In her little sorry tone
"Mi amor, mi corazón"

I haven't seen her since that night
I can't cross the line you know
Want me for a gambling fight
Like as not, it's better so

And Yet I've always sort of missed her
Since that last sad night that I kissed her
Lost my heart and left to roam
"Mi amor, mi corazón"
