[N] [B] [G]
[E]
Now there's an old brown camel on [Em] a cigarette [E] pipe.
He's a-waitin' for his master, but [F#] he ain't come [B] back.
He's [Em] been standing there for years in the same old place,
With the same old look upon his whole [E] long face.
[B] For he's not a camel, he never gets [E] a drink.
I wonder what [F#] old Eli's face, [Em] standing on the front of [E] a cigarette pipe.
Eli [G] the camel with the [B] hopper upon his [E] back.
I have [Em] often wondered what his master [E] did, when he went behind [F#] that big [B] pyramid.
[Em] Some say he got his son stroke and the old [E] man died,
But I think he's at [Em] the hotel [B] on the other [E] side.
I think he found a hair of man, he moved [Em] on in.
Forgot all about [F#] his faithful [B] friend, [Em]
standing on the front of a cigarette pipe.
[E] Eli the camel with the hopper upon his back.
Eli the camel, he never gets a drink.
I wonder what [F#] old [B] Eli's face, [E] standing on the front of a cigarette pipe.
Eli [Em] the camel with the hopper [E] upon his back.
He [B] never gets no lovin' [Em] and he don't have any [E] fun.
He keeps right on his standin' [F#] in the [B] burnin' sun.
[Em] Standin' all the time on his [E] cigarette pipe.
Eli the camel [B] with the hopper [Em] upon his back.
If only he liked to talk, well I bet [E] my boots do too.
He could tell the world [F#] a thing or two.
[E] He's been all around [Em] the world and back, ridin' on the front of a [E] cigarette pipe.
Eli the camel, he never gets a drink.
I wonder what [F#] old [B] Eli's face, [E]
standing on the [Em] front of a cigarette [E] pipe.
Eli [Em] the camel [B] with the hopper upon his [E] back.
