Well the night that was high, we got into town 
Was the night that the rain, it froze on the ground 
Down the street I heard such a sorrowful tune 
Comin' from the place they call the Spanish Moon 

Well I stepped inside, and stood by the door 
While a dark-eyed girl sang, and played the guitar 
Hookers, and hustlers, filled up the room 
I heard about this place they call the Spanish Moon 

One false step, you get done in 
It's a cold situation 
If that -- that don't -- kill you soon 
The women will down at the Spanish Moon 

I pawned my watch, and I sold my ring 
Just to hear that girl singing, (hear that girl sing) 
Don't take long, to wake up ruined 
The women will down at the Spanish Moon
