Chorus
Araby, when shades of night appear
I seem to hear you calling
Araby, you seem to beckon and I reckon
I’ll be hurrying back again
Seems to me, maiden’s face appears
I see her tears are falling
Falling because I left her there
That’s why I long to be
Where all those happy faces
Wait for me beside the fair oasis
Soon, you’ll see, within a caravan
An Arab man will take me
Over the desert back to Araby
