When Mexican Joe Met Joel Blon - Hank Snow

When Mexican Joe met Jole Blon

Si, Si, Si, oui, oui, how they carried on

He held her tight and danced all night

And crossed the border at daylight

When Mexican Joe met Jole Blon

Mexican Joe was wild and reckless

He walked into a honky-tonk in Texas

Looking for some real romance and pettin'

On a barroom stool alone this doll was settin'

He walked up to the bar and said, «I think I’ll have a drink

Three fingers of tequilla;

will clear my head, I think.»

Well, she looked around and caught his eye

And Joe said, «I … yi, yi, yi, yi.»

When Mexican Joe met Jole Blon

Joe said, «Lovely senorita

Let’s go out and paint the town.»

So he danced her and romanced her

And he showed that gal around

Jole Blon said, «I'm so hungry.»

And she breathed a little sigh

So he fed her filet gumbo, enchiladas, on the side

Then he held her close and whispered

«Will you be mine for life?

She said, «Oui, monsieur, but tell me

What’ll we do about your wife?»

But he shouted, «Ah, Caramba

I think I’d better go.»

So he swam he swam across the river

And went back to Mexico
