Spanish Is the Loving Tongue (unreleased, Self Portrait) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as music, light as spray
It was a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora way

I don′t look much like a lover
Still I hear 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 that big door open wide
Raise those laughin′ eyes of her

Oh, how the night would go a-flyin'
All too soon I'd hear her sighin′
In her sweet and quiet tone
Mi amor, mi corazón

Haven′t seen her since that night
I can't cross the line you know
They want me for a gamblin′ fight
Like as not, it's better so


Still I′ve always kind of missed her
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Left her heart, I broke my own
Adios, mi corazón
