Lyrics
- In old Suez, under mystic sky
Near the old Red Sea where the ships go by
There where the palm trees sway
Your lips and eyes plead with me to stay, in
Chorus
Suez, wond’rous Suez
Where I was captured with your love sigh
All day, and thru the night
To be with you I cry
When you enfold me in your sweet loving arms
I feel the thrill of all your charms, dear
Suez, wond’rous Suez
I lost my heart to you
- When far away, with the caravan
There I pitch my tent on the desert sand
Then o’er the blazing plain
I wander back love to you again, in
Sung here by Fred Feild:
