you know i would go to cairo
but the water too high for me
you know i want to go to cairo
the girl i love
she got washed away
you know that woman got drownin
swimmin along
after me
i used to be a gambler
i bet all of my money wrong
my baby quit me this mornin
don't even have
no home
cairo, cairo
water runnin all over town
you know i would get the girl
that i'm lovin
but she has put me down
