AMY ANNELLE

you know i would go to cairo

you know i would go to cairo

but the water too high for me

but the water too high for me

you know i want to go to cairo

you know i want to go to cairo

but the water too high for me

but the water too high for me

the girl i love

the girl i love

she got washed away

she got washed away

the girl i love

the girl i love

she got washed away

she got washed away

you know that woman got drownin

you know that woman got drownin

swimmin along

swimmin along

after me

after me

i used to be a gambler

i used to be a gambler

i bet all of my money wrong

i bet all of my money wrong

i used to be a gambler

i used to be a gambler

i bet all of my money wrong

i bet all of my money wrong

my baby quit me this mornin

my baby quit me this mornin

don't even have

don't even have

no home

no home

cairo, cairo

cairo, cairo

water runnin all over town

water runnin all over town

cairo, cairo

cairo, cairo

water runnin all over town

water runnin all over town

you know i would get the girl

you know i would get the girl

that i'm lovin

that i'm lovin

but she has put me down

but she has put me down
