Verse 1:
Em             B
I will sing you a song,
Em            B
And it won't be very long
Em           B
’Bout a maiden sweet,
G              C
And she never would do wrong
Am              Em
Ev'ryone said she was pretty,
B               Em
She was not long in the city,
Em         B
All alone, oh, what a pity,
Em
Poor little maid.

Chorus 1:
Em                B
She never saw the streets of Cairo,
Em              B
On the Midway she had never strayed;
Em                B
She never saw the kutchy‑kutchy;
G              C
Poor little country maid.

Verse 2:
Em                 B
She went out one night,
Em                B
Did this innocent divine,
Em                  B
With a nice young man,
G              C
Who invited her to dine
Am               Em
Now he's sorry that he met her,
B                Em
And he never will forget her,
Em          B
In the future he'll know better,
Em
Poor little maid.

Chorus 2:
Em                B
She never saw the streets of Cairo,
Em              B
On the Midway she had never strayed;
Em                B
She never saw the kutchy‑kutchy;
G              C
Poor little country maid.

Verse 3:
Em               B
She was engaged
Em             B
As a picture for to pose,
Em             B
To appear each night
G               C
In abbreviated clothes
Am               Em
All the dudes were in a flurry,
B                Em
For to catch her they did hurry,
Em         B
One who caught her now is sorry,
Em
Poor little maid.

Outro:
Em                 B
She was much fairer far than Trilby,
Em               B
Lots of more men sorry will be,
Em               B
If they don't try to keep away from this
G              C
Poor little country maid.
