Panama Red

Panama Red, Panama Red
        He'll steal your woman then he'll rob your head
        Panama Red, Panama Red
        On his wild horse Mescalito He come breezing though town
        I bet your woman's up in bed with ol'Panama Red

The judge don't know when red' in town
He keeps well hidden underground
But everybody's acting lazy
Falling out and hanging round
Well, my woman said, he Pedro
You acting crazy like a clown
nobody feels like working
Panama Red in back in town

* Refrain

Everybody's looking out for him
Cause they know Red satisfies
Little girls love to listen to him
Sing and tell sweet lies
If ever things get too confusing, honey
We're better off in bed
And I'll be searching all the joints in town for Panama Red

* Refrain
