Night Boat To Cairo

Written By - McPherson, Barson 

Night boat to Cairo!

It's just gone noon half past monsoon

On the banks of the river Nile

Here comes the boat only half afloat

Oarsman grins a toothless smile

Only just one more to this desolate shore

last boat along the river Nile

doesn't seem to care no

More wind in his hair

As he reaches his last half mile

The oar snaps in his hand

Before he reaches dry land

But the sound doesn't dampen

his smile

Just pokes the wet sand

with oar in his hand

Floats off down the river Nile

Floats off down the river Nile

Night boat

Night boat to Cairo!

Night boat to Cairo!
