Cairo Blues

Cairo, Cairo is my baby's home
Cairo, Cairo is my baby's home
Going to Cairo and I won't be here long

I know, she will take my lovin' on
Know my babe, she will take my lovin' on
Know by that I won't be here long

Women in Cairo they will treat you nice and sweet
Women in Cairo, mmm, they will treat you kind and sweet
Ain’t no tellin’ what they may do, cut you and stab you Cut you and shoot you too Cut you and stab you. Ooo Cut you and shoot you too
Ain’t no tellin’ what they may do
Oh, I want to go to Cairo, but the water’s all over town
Oh, I want to go to Cairo, but the water’s all over town
And the police in the corner, they don’t allow nobody around

The woman I love, she got washed away
Oh the woman I love, she got washed away
Now she’s gone, I don’t have a place to stay

Cairo, Cairo is a place I call so dear
And the moon and the stars and the air is sweeter here
