Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Now Hear This
(Flame of) Laredo
(INTRO)
When you go down to that Texas town
You're going to find a volcano
Hotter than lava when it all comes down
They call her the Flame of Laredo
And if you go dancing on Friday night
She's gonna do the Fandango
And deep in the desert there's a blindin' light
They call it the Flame of Laredo
Round and round she goes
Stuck in the rivers that Texas rose
Round and round she goes
She is the Flame of Laredo
She is the Flame of Laredo
Sunrise, fire in her eyes
She never quits and she don't tell lies
Some say she'll marry someday
But I pity the fool that tries to take her away
(GUITAR DITTY)
She never had what you call good luck
She was abandoned in Waco
Hitchin' a ride on a pickup truck
She made her way to Laredo
Dancing in bars since she was sweet sixteen
For dinners and dollars and pesos
Don't ever ask her what her dancing means
Call her the Flame of Laredo
Round and round she goes
Stuck in the rivers that Texas rose
Round and round she goes
She is the Flame of Laredo
She is the Flame of Laredo
Sunrise, fire in her eyes
She never quits and she don't tell lies
Some say she'll marry someday
But I pity the fool that tries to take her away
Take her away
Round and round she goes
Stuck in the rivers that Texas rose
Round and round she goes
She is the Flame of Laredo
Round and round she goes
Stuck in the rivers, that Texas Rose
Round and round she goes
She is the Flame of Laredo
She is the Flame of Laredo
