Panamama Lyrics - Hank Snow

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 

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 

[ guitar ] 

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 

They live just for tonight 

I take her in my arms beneath the beautiful palms 

And it's heaven when I hold her tight 

[ guitar ] 

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 pepper pot from down old Panama 

To catch a feller from Tennessee 

In Panama those Panamamas...
