Jack Green Valentina on HQ Vinyl with Lyrics in Description

Track 3 from his debut album "Humanesque" released in 1980 copyright RCA Records. Jack Green was born in Glasgow, Scotland and was a member of Marc Bolan's T. Rex from '73 to '74. He then joined Pretty Things from '74 to '76 and was a short-lived member of Rainbow in late '78. His brief association with Rainbow led to him snagging Ritchie Blackmore for a rare guest appearance as lead guitarist on "I Call, No Answer." The majority of songs on this album are great. It's received excellent retrospective reviews but at the time of its release it mostly flew under the radar and was overlooked. It did have great regional success in Alberta, Canada, but not the rest of the country, which is a rare phenomenon. It reached No. 68 on the Australian chart. Recorded from the original vinyl. Written by Leslie Adey & Jack Green and produced by Jack Green, RIP. Featuring:

Out of the neon shinin' bright
Out came a dancer shinin' white
She moves like a whisper, soft and light
Caught in between the spell and night

Valentina, sweet flower of New Mexico
Growin' in the wild places
Where only the wild ones go

Out of the sun and climbin' high
She came on like fire right into my sight
Burnin' with promise, hot and dry
Caught in between the spell and night

Valentina, sweet flower of New Mexico
Growin' in the wild places
Where only the wild things go
Valentina, sweet flower of new Mexico
Growin' in the wild places
Where only the wild ones go

You see her walk, she's just walkin' on down the street
She's got on her new tight dress
She's eyin' up those little Puerto Rican boys
And she's feelin' pretty good tonight, huh

(Walk Valentina) yeah, so she just keeps on walkin'
(Walk Valentina) keep on, keep on
(Walk Valentina) she keeps on walkin'
(Walk Valentina) hey, hey

Valentina, sweet flower of New Mexico
Growin' in the wild places
Where only the wild ones go, yeah
Valentina

Oh, just (walk Valentina)
Uh, keep on, keep on (walk Valentina)
Uh, keep on walkin' Valentina (walk Valentina)
Uh, keep on walkin' Valentina (walk Valentina)
Hey, hey Valentina (walk)
(Walk) sweet flower of New Mexico (walk)
(Walk) growin' in the wild places (walk)
(Walk) where only the wild ones go (walk)
(Walk) yeah, Valentina (walk)
(Walk) uh, keep on, keep on (walk)
(Walk) oh, keep on walkin' Valentina (walk)
(Walk) uh, keep on walkin' Valentina (walk)
(Walk) uh, keep on walkin' Valentina (walk)
(Walk, walk, walk)
