Artist/Band: Ferlin Husky
Lyrics for Song: Eli The Camel
Lyrics for Album: Wings of a Dove [Hilltop] [1971]



ELI, THE CAMEL



Now, there's an old brown camel on a cigarette pack

He's a-waiting for his master but he ain't come back

Been standin' there for years in the same old place

With the same old look upon his old long face



(CHORUS)

Eli, the camel, he never gets a drink

I wonder what old Eli thinks

Standing on the front of that cigarette pack

Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back



Now, I have often wondered what his master did

When he went behind that big pyramid

Some say he got a sunstroke and the old man died

But, I think he's at the hotel on the other side



He probably found a harem and he moved on in

Forgot all about his faithful friend



Standing on the front of that cigarette pack

Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back



(CHORUS)



He never gets no loving and he don't have any fun

He keeps right on a-standing in the burning sun

Standing all the time on that cigarette pack

Eli, the camel with the hump upon his back



If old Eli could talk, well, I'll bet my boots to you

He could tell the world a thing or two

He's been all around the world and back

Riding on the front of that cigarette pack



(CHORUS)



E-E-E-E-li
