Lyrics Spanish Burgundy - Tom Russell

Spanish Burgundy

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
