Spanish Fireball

Spanish Fireball - Hank Snow

I met a girl in Laredo down in Mexico

While I was makin' the rounds

Down in a dim cafe she does the swing and sway

That's the talk of the town

I never learned her name

But she's called the Spanish Fireball

While she kept rhythm with her hips

From her ruby lips

Came a love song so sweet

And as she rhumbaed by the fire in her eyes

Looked like flames in the night

T'was then I understood why she's

Called the Spanish Fireball

I finally asked her for a dance

And I got the chance

Holding her closely to me

As we were cheek to cheek I grew

Too weak to speak

And it was plain to see

That I had fallen in love with this

Cute little Spanish Fireball

She wore a ruby braclet

And a blue white diamond

Upon her little brown hand

She made a perfect date

And in her Cadillac eight

Love began to expand

I played the part and gave my heart to

The Spanish Fireball

We wandered out beneath the stars while

The old guitars

Strummed a Mexican tune

And as I stole a kiss I knew too well that this

Would all end too soon

'Cause I must go away and leave my Spanish Fireball

As that old moon was sinking low

I heard the whistle blow

My train was pulling in sight

And so we kissed goodbye the tears were

In her eyes

As I left in the night

But someday I'll return back and claim

My Spanish Fireball
