Flame of Laredo

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 quit's and she don't tell lies
Some say she'll marry someday
But I pity the fool that
Tries to take her away
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 quit's 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
