Lyrics: 

I will sing you a song, and it won’t take very long,
‘Bout a maiden sweet, and she never would do wrong, 
Ev’ryone 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, now he never will forget her
In the future he’ll no better, poor little maid. 

Chorus

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 

Verse 4: 

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.

Chorus
