Lyrics

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

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 never will forget her

In the future, he'll know better

Poor little maid

She never saw the streets of Cairo

On the Midway, she had never strayed

She never saw the kutchy, kutchy

Poor little country maid

She never saw the streets of Cairo

On the Midway, she had never strayed

She never saw the kutchy, kutchy

Poor little country maid

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

She was much fairer far than Trilby

Lots of more men sorry will be

If they don't try to keep away from this

Poor little country maid

She never saw the streets of Cairo

On the Midway, she had never strayed

She never saw the kutchy, kutchy

Poor little country maid
