You know, I want to go to Cairo, but the water's all over town
You know, I want to go to Cairo, but the water's all over town
The police is on the corner, they don't 'llow nobody hangin' around
ย
Girl I love, she got washed away
ย
Girl I love (hm), she got washed away
Well now, since she been gone, I don't have nowhere to stay
Cairo, Cairo was a place I really love
Cairo, Cairo was a place I really love
Everything around me seemed so pleasant
Even the moon and the stars above
ย
Yes, I'm ragged and I'm dirty
Baby, barefoot and I'm hungry too
Yes, I'm ragged and I'm dirty, baby
Barefoot and I'm hungry too
But if I clean up, baby, can I go home with you?
ย
You know, I love my baby
And I wonder, "Where could she be?"
You know, I love my baby
And I wonder, "Where could she be?"
You know, the birds and the bees ain't got a lil' song for me
Cairo, Cairo was a place I really love
Cairo, Cairo was a place I really love
Everything 'round me seemed so pleasant
Even the moon and the stars above
I love my baby, and I wonder, "Where could she be?"
I love my baby, I wonder, "Where could she be?"
The birds in the tree, they sang no blues for me
Cairo, Cairo
Cairo, Cairo
Cairo, Cairo
That's the place I really love
Everything around me seemed so pleasant
Even the moon and the stars above
ย
Everything around me seemed so pleasant
Even the moon and the stars above
