Hernando's Hideaway

Hernando's Hideaway - Johnnie Ray

I know a dark secluded place

A place where no one knows your face

A glass of wine a fast embrace

It's called Hernando's Hideaway Ole

All you'll see are silhouettes

And all you'll hear are castanets

And no one cares how late it gets

Not at Hernando's Hideaway Ole

At the Golden Fingerbowl or any place you go

You will meet your Uncle Max and everyone you know

But if you'll go to the spot that I am thinkin' of

You will be free to gaze at me and talk of love

Just knock thee times and whisper low

That you and I were sent by Joe

Then strike a match and you will know

You're in Hernando's Hideway Ole

You will be free to gaze at me and talk of love

Just knock three times and whisper low

That you and I were sent by Joe

Then strike a match and you will know

You're in Hernando's Hideaway Ole
