Lyrics Cairo Blues - Henry Spaulding

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

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

Won't be here long

Women in Cairo will treat you nice and sweet
Women in Cairo will treat you kind and sweet
Get you a ride and take you off their beat

Kick you and notch you, beat you and cut you, too
Kick you and notch you, beat you and cut you, too
When they get through, you's ready for the grave

Hmm, babe, Cairo, hmm, babe
Cairo, Cairo is my baby's home
I'm going home and I swear and it won't be long
