When Mexican Joe Met Jole 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
He was 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 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
So he shouted ah caramba I think I'd better go
So he swam he swam across the river and went back to Mexico.
