When Mexican Joe Met Jole Blon Lyrics - 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 tequila 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 seorita 

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 

(Repeat 1st verse)
