Cairo Illinois - Pokey LaFarge[00:00:00]
If it's not where you're from[00:00:08]
But what you had where you happened to come from[00:00:13]
More or less I'd say that I had none[00:00:18]
Eatin' and drinkin' would be all that I do[00:00:22]
And if it's not what you do[00:00:29]
But what you got then I got less[00:00:33]
And out of loving or playing I like loving the best[00:00:38]
Now baby take me with you when you go[00:00:42]
Take me to the bridge where the rivers collide[00:00:50]
Down in Cairo Illinois on a Saturday night[00:00:54]
I might jump in[00:00:58]
Everyone wants to hear a song[00:01:04]
That helps the day seem half as long[00:01:08]
But I'm trying[00:01:12]
I want you to see that I'm trying babe[00:01:15]
If you've lost your ticket to paradise[00:01:21]
Or you spent your money for the bus[00:01:26]
It's cold coffee in the morning slow trumpet at dusk[00:01:30]
Now baby catch that old midnight train[00:01:34]
Take me to the bridge where the rivers collide[00:01:42]
Down in Cairo Illinois on a Saturday night[00:01:46]
I might jump in[00:01:50]
Everyone wants to hear a song[00:01:56]
That helps the day seem half as long[00:02:00]
But I'm trying[00:02:04]
I want you to hear that I'm trying babe[00:02:07]
Down by the levee[00:02:33]
Where you swear God's got you shamed[00:02:36]
Just cast your doubts and the mistakes that you've made[00:02:41]
Into that old wishing well well well well well[00:02:46]
Don't the river look lonesome at twilight[00:02:52]
Well there ain't no looking back[00:02:57]
It's just a broken fiddle and an old tote sack[00:03:01]
In the morning you'll be going south[00:03:06]
Take me to the bridge where the rivers collide[00:03:14]
Down in Cairo Illinois on a Saturday night[00:03:17]
I might jump in[00:03:22]
Everyone wants to hear a song[00:03:28]
That helps the day seem half as long[00:03:32]
But I'm trying[00:03:36]
I want you to feel like I'm trying babe oh yes[00:03:39]
I want you to know that I'm trying[00:03:44]
