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
