SINGER: Hank Snow

SONG:Spanish Fireball

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 bame a love song so bright
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
while 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 sinkin' 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 go back and claim
my spanish fireball
