Hank Snow Panamama Lyrics

Panamama Lyrics

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...
