I knew a little girl
And she was born in the ghetto

I knew her so well
She had stories to tell

A mother and a fatherless child
And she was always running wild

She danced for all the men
Every night in the caravan

She was a mother and a fatherless child
And she was always running wild
Sahara! Sahara!

Every night in the caravan

She was a mother and fatherless child
Always running wild

Sahara! Sahara!
