Spanish Fireball - Hank Snow

作词：Dan Welch

作曲：Dan Welch

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
