Someday, the Fugs will be re-discovered. Among their many masterpieces, Ramses II Is Dead, My Love, from this album, will receive global airplay and destroy country and western music and thus Nashville and The Nashville Network forever.

Here are the lyrics (though to get the full effect you have to hear Ed Sanders backed by a pseudo-Nashville chorus and orchestra sing the words with an authentic hillbilly twang):

Ramses the Second is dead, my love
He's left from Memphis for heaven
Ptah has taken him in the Solar Barge
And walked him to Nut's celestial shores

Ramses the Second is dead, my love
He's wandering the plains where the blessed live
Ptah and Ra and Sokaris too
Are taking him on th' Celestial Boat

Ramses the Second, Ramses the Second
With the Savior
He walked to his bier
Where his pylons did wave
With the flags of his victories

Ramses the Second 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 shore

Standing in the harsh harsh grey granite
Standing my 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 Ptah's huge side.
