Verse 3:
========
In a week and a half you'll be walking down 42nd Street again
And you can read it in the New York Times they're plagiarizing Ernest Hemingway
And you can touch that spot where a Fascist bullet nearly severed your arm
But that's nothing like the way that your soul was scarred
Chorus:
=======
And all for the hand of Magdalena
Your heart broken in the soil of Spain
Like her tears in the Spanish rain
All for the hand of Magdalena
Your blood's red like the soil of Spain
Like her tears in the Spanish rain
All for the hand of Magdalena
The hand of Magdalena
The hand of Magdalena
