The Border Affair Lyrics by Dave Stamey

Tonopah

0

Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as silver, light as spray
There was a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora Way
I don't look much like a lover
Still I say her love words over
Mostly when I'm all alone
Mi Amor, Mi Corazon
And there were nights when I would ride
And she would listen for my spurs
Swing that big door open wide
And raise those laughing eyes of hers
And oh how my heart, it near stopped beating
When I'd hear her tender greeting
Whispered low for me alone
Mi Amor, Mi Corazon
Moonlight on thе patio
Old Senora nodding near
Me and Juana talking low
So hеr Madre wouldn't hear
And Oh 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 gambling fight
I had to say a swift goodbye
In that black, unlucky night
Traveling north, the words kept ringing
With every hoofbeat, I'd hear her singing
Please don't leave me all alone
Mi Amor, Mi Corazon
I ain't never seen her since that night
I can't cross the line ya'know
She was Mexican and I was white
Like as not, it's better so
Yet I've always sort of missed her
Since that very last night that I kissed her
I broke her heart, but I lost my own
Adios, Mi Corazon
