The Road to Cairo |
A fella told me |
This here road leads to Cairo |
I’ve got to get me a ride |
I’ve got to go back |
Go back to my children |
I got to see my little my bride |
I’ve been traveling |
Gone a long long time |
Don’t know what I’ll find |
Scared of what I’ll find |
But I just got to see them again |
Hey thanks for stopping |
Are you headed down to Cairo |
I wrecked my Lincoln in St. Joe |
Well to little old Cairo |
No special reason |
Look up some folks I used to know |
Me I traveled some |
Had my share of fun |
Now that’s the life a man can live |
Sure I’ve played the loss |
But who minds the cause |
You’ve got to take more than you give |
Hey you got another cigar |
Son I sure like this car |
Oh from your daddy as a gift |
Say on second thought |
There’s gifts I haven’t bought |
Just drop me here |
Thanks for the lift |
Yes I’ve traveled some |
Yes I’ve been a bum |
Never have a dime for gin |
I left to make my way |
For here I can’t stay |
To see my children poor as sin |
I know this road |
It leads straight into Cairo |
Twenty two miles straight ahead |
I can’t I can’t walk down this road to Cairo |
They’re better thinking I’m dead |
I’ve been traveling |
Gone a long long time |
Dunno what I’ll find |
Scared of what I’d find |
I just can’t |
Just can’t walk down this road |
