Spanish Fireball Lyrics - 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 the rhythm with her hips from her ruby lips 

Came a love song so bright 

And as she rumbaed 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 bracelet 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 go back and claim my Spanish Fireball
