"Spanish is the Loving Tongue" is a song based on the poem "A Border Affair" written by Charles Badger Clark in 1907. Clark was a cowboy poet who lived throughout the American West, and was named the Poet Laureate of South Dakota in 1937. The poem was set to music in 1925 by Billy Simon. Over the years, the song was recorded by many top recording artists, including Bob Dylan, Ian and Sylvia, Tom Paxton, Judy Collins, Marianne Faithfull, Emmylou Harris, and Michael Martin Murphey. :Spanish is the lovin' tongue :Soft as springtime, light as spray :There was a girl I learned it from :Living down Sonora way :Now I don't look much like a lover :Yet I say her love words over :Late at night when I'm all alone :"Mi amor, mi corazon" :There were nights when I would ride :She would listen for my spurs :Fling that big door open wide :Raise those laughing eyes of hers :And how those hours would get to flyin' :Pretty soon, I'd hear her cryin' :"Please don't leave me all alone :Mi amor, mi corazon" :Then one night I had to fly :I got into a foolish gamblin' fight :I had a swift goodbye :In that black unlucky night :And traveling north, her words kept ringing :And every word I could hear her singing :"Please don't leave me all alone :Mi amor, mi corazon" :Well, I ain't never seen her since that night :I can't cross the line now :She was Mexican, and I was White :Like as not, it's better so :And yet I've always sort of missed her :Since that last wild night I kissed her :I left her heart, but I lost my own :"Mi amor, mi corazon" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spanish is the Loving Tongue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
