She Never Spoke Spanish To Me Lyrics - Ely Joe

I met her in old mexico 

She was laughing sad and young 

In a smokey room no-one could see 

All the poets they agreed 

Spanish is a loving tongue but 

She never spoke spanish to me 

She was born in Monterey 

And all the Christmas songs were sung 

The padres knew what she would grow up to be 

Saints and sinners all agree 

Spanish is a loving tongue 

But she never spoke Spanish to me 

Refrain: 

Like a lion screamin in the jungle-O 

She'd never fool with things she couldn't see 

She spoke to all the shadows in her bungalow 

But she never spoke Spanish to me. 

She said "If you're from Texas,son, 

Where's your boots and where's your gun?" 

I smiled and said "I got guns no-one can see!" 

She laughed at that and both agreed 

Spanish is a loving tongue but 

She never spoke Spanish to me.
