My Spanish Guitar
My Spanish Guitar
Folk Song
When I was a student at Cadiz*
I played on my Spanish guitar.
I used to make love to the ladies,
But I think of them still from afar
Ching ching!
Ring ching ching, ring ching ching
Ring out the bells
Ring out the bells
Oh, ring out the bells.
Ring ching ching, ring ching ching
Ring out the bells
As I played on my Spanish guitar
Ching ching!
Ring ching ching, ring ching ching
Ring out the bells,
Ring out the bells
Oh, ring out the bells.
Ring ching ching, ring ching ching
Ring out the bells
As I played on my Spanish guitar
Ching ching!
