Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine - Country Joe & The Fish[00:00:00]
She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf[00:00:18]
Behind volumes of literature based on herself[00:00:26]
And runs across the pages like some tiny elf[00:00:35]
Knowing that it's hard to find[00:00:40]
Stuff way back in her mind[00:00:44]
Winds up spending all of her time[00:00:49]
Trying to memorize every line[00:00:53]
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:00:57]
Sweet lady of death wants me to die[00:01:06]
So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh[00:01:14]
And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes[00:01:23]
Then softly she will explain[00:01:28]
Just exactly who was to blame[00:01:31]
For causing me to go insane[00:01:36]
And finally blow out my brain[00:01:41]
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:01:44]
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity[00:01:53]
You were raised up in the city[00:01:57]
And you never learned nothing about country ways[00:02:01]
Ah about country ways[00:02:09]
The joy of life she dresses in black[00:02:15]
With celestial secrets engraved in her back[00:02:23]
And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack[00:02:32]
But you know when you look into her eyes[00:02:36]
All she's learned she's had to memorize[00:02:41]
And the only way you'll ever get her high[00:02:45]
Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die[00:02:49]
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:02:53]
Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things[00:03:03]
And reads us stories out of the I Ching[00:03:12]
Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings[00:03:20]
That when you put on your hand[00:03:26]
Makes you one of the Angel Band[00:03:29]
And gives you the power to be a man[00:03:34]
But what it does for her you never quite understand[00:03:38]
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:03:42]
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity[00:03:51]
You were raised up in the city[00:03:55]
And you never learned nothing about country ways[00:03:59]
Oh about country ways oh about country ways[00:04:06]
Yeah about country ways[00:04:15]
