VERSE 01: Al Koro chief of an Arab band,/ On his steed so swift and white/ Sped on to his love o'er the desert sand/ Thro' the soft Egyptian night,/ And he sang to the stars above him/ To the stars that seemed to love him;/ In a voice that was brave and low,/ Of the love that the Bedouins know CHORUS: Oh! wait for me in your home by the Pyramids,/ We will happy be;/ For my love for you will last as long,/ as the Nile flows to the sea,/ Oh! Wait for me in your home by the Pyramids/ Love me all you can;/ Then I'll be your King,/ and you'll be Queen,/ of my caravan. VERSE 02: O'er the burning sand he took his flight,/ Till at length in the banyan's shade/ Al Koro's heart was soon made light,/ By the smiles of his gypsy maid,/ And she sighed "I have long been yearning,"/ "For my Arab chief's returning,"/ "As you told me I should do,"/ I have waited long for you | |
