Eli The Camel Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

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)
