Spanish Girls
Music & lyrics by Robert Coleman Trussell

The world gave us Spanish girls
So we could feel the thorns in our feet
So we could hear the wild ocean howling
And taste the honey so sweet

I cut a dark man with a knife
He had some things to say
I caused his tongue to fall silent
Then I rode away

You may hunt me is you wish
Any man is welcome to try
But I will thin your numbers
And cause your women to cry

They caught me down in Durango
With silver strapped round my waist
They said why the hell did you do it boy
I said just for the love of the chase

Now there's nothing you can compare
In this bloody old world
To the feeling deep inside your chest
When you kiss a Spanish girl
When you kiss a Spanish girl
