Lyrics Ramses II Is Dead, My Love - The Fugs

Ramses II Is Dead, My Love

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
