SINGER: Hank Snow

SONG:Panamama

I went to panama to find out why
it's called the tropic zone.
the senoritas there had so much charm,
they could even melt a heart of stone,
a hot tamale gal, she flashed me a smile,
and i lost my heart right then.
i thought i'd only stay
down there for a day,
now i think i'll never leave again.
Chorus:
in panama those panamamas,
they live the life of a beautiful dream.
your life's a waste until you get a taste
of the thrill that you get
from a tropical queen.
Now kindly get me straight,
i think they're great,
those gals from tennessee
but when they say, "si, si," in panama,
then the trill is really different to me.
manana never comes down there
i live just for tonight.
i take her in my arms
beneath the beautiful palms,
and it's heaven when i hold her tight.
Chorus
I'm making memories
on balconies
sombreros, they fit me fine.
i know that pretty soon,
i'll honeymoon
with that sweet chiquita of mine.
out on the edge of town
we're gonna settle down
how happy we're gonna be.
it takes a deeper pot
from down old panama
to catch a feller from tennessee.
Chorus
