Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine - Nellie McKay[00:00:00]

She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf[00:00:17]

Behind volumes of literature based on herself[00:00:26]

And runs across the pages like some tiny elf[00:00:34]

Knowing that it's hard to find[00:00:39]

Stuff way back in her mind[00:00:43]

Winds up spending all of her time[00:00:47]

Trying to memorize every line[00:00:52]

Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:00:56]

Sweet lady of death wants me to die[00:01:05]

So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh[00:01:13]

And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes[00:01:22]

Then softly she will explain[00:01:26]

Just exactly who was to blame[00:01:30]

For causing me to go insane[00:01:34]

And finally blow out my brain[00:01:39]

Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:01:43]

Well you know that it's a shame and a pity[00:01:51]

You were raised up in the city[00:01:55]

And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways[00:02:00]

Ah 'bout country ways[00:02:08]

The joy of life she dresses in black[00:02:13]

With celestial secrets engraved in her back[00:02:21]

And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack[00:02:30]

But you know when you look into her eyes[00:02:35]

All she's learned she's had to memorize[00:02:38]

And the only way you'll ever get her high[00:02:42]

Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die[00:02:46]

Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:02:51]

Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things[00:02:59]

And reads us stories out of the I Ching[00:03:08]

Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings[00:03:16]

That when you put on your hand[00:03:21]

Makes you one of the Angel Band[00:03:24]

And gives you the power to be a man[00:03:29]

But what it does for her you never quite understand[00:03:33]

Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine[00:03:37]

Well you know that it's a shame and a pity[00:03:46]

You were raised up in the city[00:03:50]

And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways[00:03:54]

Oh 'bout country ways oh 'bout country ways[00:04:02]

Yeah about country ways oh country ways[00:04:10]
