Sol Bloom — The Streets of Cairo or The Poor Little Country Maid

[Verse 1] I will sing you a song And it won't be very long 'Bout a maiden sweet And she never would do wrong Everyone said she was pretty She was not long in the city All alone, oh, what a pity Poor little maid [Chorus] She never saw the streets of Cairo On the Midway she had never strayed She never saw the kutchy kutchy Poor little country maid [Verse 2] She went out one night Did this innocent divine With a nice young man Who invited her to dine Now he's sorry that he met her And he nеver will forget her In thе future, he'll know better Poor little maid [Chorus] She never saw the streets of Cairo On the Midway she had never strayed She never saw the kutchy kutchy Poor little country maid [Verse 3] She was engaged As a picture for to pose To appear each night In abbreviated clothes All the dudes were in a flurry For to catch her they did hurry One who caught her now is sorry Poor little maid [Chorus 2/Outro] She was much fairer far than Trilby Lots of more men sorry will be If they don't try to keep way from this Poor little country maid
