Ramses II Is Dead, My Love - The Fugs

Ramses II is dead, my love

He’s left from Memphis for heaven

Ptah has taken him in the solar bargue

And walked him to nuit’s celestial shores

Ramses II is dead, my love

He’s wandering the plains where the Blessed live

Ptah and Ra and Sokaris too

Are taking him on the Celestial boat

Ramses II Ramses II Ramses II

With the Savior

He walked to his bier

Where his pylons did wave

With the flags of his victorys

Ramses II is dead

He died and he lies in the boat

He’s floating down those cool grey waters

To his tomb by the Nile’s surging wave

Standing in the harsh harsh grey granite

Standing by Ramses forever!

With a coffin of gold and the pretty pale carvings

Lifting you to heaven

Heaven was waiting for Ramses II

He’s gone to great Ptahs huge side
