She Never Spoke Spanish to Me

[Verse 1]
I met her in old Mexico
She was laughin', sad, and young
In a smoky room no one could see
Her favorite poets all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me

[Verse 2]
She was born in Monterey
All the Christmas songs were sung
Padre knew what she'd grow up to be
Saints and sinners all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me

[Bridge]
Like a lion screaming in the jungle
She never fooled with what she couldn't see
She spoke to all the shadows in her bungalow
But she never spoke Spanish to me

[Verse 3]
She said, "If you're from Texas, son
Then where's your boots and where's your gun?"
I smiled and said, "I got guns no one can see"
We laughed at that and both agreed
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me

[Verse 4]
I left her in old Mexico
She was laughin', sad, and young
In a smoky room that no one could see
Her favorite poets all agree
Spanish is a lovin' tongue
But she never spoke Spanish to me
She never spoke Spanish to me
