A BORDER AFFAIR
S PANISH is the lovin' tongue,
Soft as music, light as spray;
'Twas a girl I learnt it from
Livin* down Sonora way.
I don't look much like a lover,
Yet I say her love-words over
Often, when I'm all alone —
u Mi amor, mi corazon"
Nights when she knew where I'd ride
She would listen for my spurs,
Throw the big door open wide,
Raise them laughin' eyes of hers,
And my heart would nigh stop beatin'
When I'd hear her tender greetin'
Whispered soft for me alone —
t€ Mi amor! mi corazon! "
Moonlight in the patio,
Old Senora noddin' near,
Me and Juana talkin' low
So the " madre " couldn't hear—
How those hours would go a-flyin',
And too soon I'd hear her sighin',
In her little sorry-tone —
"AdioSy mi corazon"
