Spanish Burgundy - Tom Russell

Barcelona is a woman’s town women everywhere

Barcelona is a woman’s eyes, raven gypsy hair

I got drunk in Barcelona and then she walked away from me

My tears ran down a bottle of Spanish burgundy

And I drank until I slept and I slept until I dream

In every dream her lips did taste of Spanish burgundy

There was once a gypsy saying, it may come from Catalan

First the man he takes the drink and then the drink it takes the man

It may lead you to destruction or a love that’s meant to be

But beware of Barcelona girls and the Spanish Burgundy

And we drink until we sleep and we sleep until we dream

We dream of Barcelona girls and Spanish burgundy

So I will join the old men down in the sad cafe

The sun goes up the sun goes down, shadows cross our face

As we sing of how it might of been oh and how it used to be

And the moon shines through the bottles of Spanish burgundy

And we drink until we sleep and we sleep until we dream

We dream of Barcelona girls and Spanish burgundy

And we drink until we sleep and we sleep until we dream

In every dream her lips did taste of Spanish burgundy
