Lyrics:

A Fella Told Me
this Here Road Leads To Cairo
i Got To Get Me A Ride
i Got To Go Back
go Back To My Children
i Got To See My Little Bride

i 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 Saint Jo
why To Little Old Cairo
no Special Reason
look Up Some Folks I Used To Know


me I Travel Some
have My Share Of Fun
now That's A Life A Man Can Live
sure I've Played And Lost
but Who Minds The Cost
you 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
left To Make My Way
told Her 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 Walk Down This Road To Cairo
they're Better Thinking I'm Dead

i Been Traveling
gone A Long Long Time
don't Know What I'd Find
scared Of What I'd Find
i Can't I Just Can't Walk Down This Road
