Lyrics

[00:06.31] Spanish is the lovin' tongue
[00:14.55] Soft as springtime, light as spray
[00:23.19] There was a girl I learned it from
[00:31.99] Living down Sonora way
[00:41.01] Now I don't look much like a lover
[00:52.20] Yet I say her love words over
[01:00.83] Late at night when I'm all alone
[01:09.46] "Mi amor, mi corazon"
[01:24.23] There were nights when I would ride
[01:33.73] She would listen for my spurs
[01:42.35] Fling that big door open wide
[01:51.15] Raise those laughing eyes of hers
[02:00.69] And how those hours would get to flyin'
[02:11.28] Pretty soon, I'd hear her cryin'
[02:19.80] "Please don't leave me all alone
[02:28.64] Mi amor, mi corazon"
[02:44.44] Then one time I had to fly
[02:53.17] I got into a foolish gamblin' fight
[03:02.11] I had to say a swift goodbye
[03:11.27] In that black unlucky night
[03:20.68] And traveling north, her words kept ringing
[03:31.69] And every evening I could hear her singing
[03:40.33] "Please don't leave me all alone
[03:48.68] Mi amor, mi corazon"
[04:04.56] Well, I ain't never seen her since that night
[04:13.10] I can't cross the line now
[04:21.73] She was Mexican, and I was White
[04:30.62] Like as not, it's better so
[04:39.86] And yet I've always sort of missed her
[04:50.46] Since that very first night I kissed her
[04:59.14] I left her heart, but I lost my own
[05:08.78] "Adiós, mi corazon"
