C<\/span>\u200bThe First Time I Saw A Little Egypt Dance,<\/span> Andy Hurlbut & Lon Austin<\/span><\/p>\n

The first time I saw a little Egypt dance<\/span><\/p>\n

I was \u00a0u<\/span>p on <\/span>W<\/span>hiskey <\/span>R<\/span>ow, but not by chance<\/span><\/p>\n

She was wearing <\/span>her<\/span> embroidered underpants,<\/span><\/p>\n

The first time I saw a little Egypt dance<\/span><\/p>\n

She’d never seen the <\/span>P<\/span>yramids or fished the River Nile,<\/span><\/p>\n

She’d never been to Paris, France or seen the Eiffel Tower,<\/span><\/p>\n

But she’s been to San <\/span>F<\/span>rancisco, New <\/span>Y<\/span>ork, <\/span>and <\/span>Buffalo,<\/span><\/p>\n

How she got to <\/span>P<\/span>rescott, the good Lord only knows.<\/span><\/p>\n

[<\/span>Chorus<\/span>]<\/span><\/p>\n

She <\/span>stru<\/span>ts around the <\/span>P<\/span>alace <\/span>B<\/span>ar and waves her veils so high<\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span>he s<\/span>it<\/span>s<\/span> down <\/span>in the cowboys<\/span>\u2019<\/span> laps she looks them in the eye,<\/span><\/p>\n

The gamblers & the good time girls ha<\/span>d<\/span> always been around,<\/span><\/p>\n

But no one like little Egypt had ever come to town<\/span><\/p>\n

Now she was something for my young eyes to see<\/span><\/p>\n

The night I saw little Egypt, the night I turned 18<\/span><\/p>\n

[<\/span>Chorus<\/span>]<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve w<\/span>orked the cows and horses<\/span>,<\/span> I’ve seen the beauty of the land,<\/span><\/p>\n

Seen the wide and Open sky, the magic of God’s hand<\/span><\/p>\n

Thought that I’d seen everything that’s beautiful to see<\/span><\/p>\n

Till I saw a little Egypt dancing just for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

[<\/span><\/a>Chorus<\/span>]<\/span><\/p>\n
