Cairo Songtext
von John Primer

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

Girl I love, she got washed away
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

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?


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

Everything around me seemed so pleasant
Even the moon and the stars above
