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
