Hank Snow 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

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
I live just for tonight
I take her in my arms beneath the beautiful palms
And it's heaven when I hold her tight


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

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 peeper pot from down old Panama
To catch a feller from Tennessee

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
