	She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf
	Behind volumes of literature based on herself
	And runs across the pages like some tiny elf
	Knowing that it's hard to find
	Stuff way back in her mind
	Winds up spending all of her time
	Trying to memorize every line
	Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
	Sweet lady of death wants me to die
	So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh
	And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes
	Then softly she will explain
	Just exactly who was to blame
	For causing me to go insane
	And finally blow out my brain
	Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
	Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
	You were raised up in the city
	And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways
	Ah 'bout country ways.
	The joy of life she dresses in black
	With celestial secrets engraved in her back
	And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack
	But you know when you look into her eyes
	All she's learned she's had to memorize
	And the only way you'll ever get her high
	Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die
	Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
	Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things
	And reads us stories out of the I Ching
	Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings
	That when you put on your hand
	Makes you one of the Angel Band
	And gives you the power to be a man
	But what it does for her you never quite understand
	Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.
	Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
	You were raised up in the city
	And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways
	Oh 'bout country ways, oh 'bout country ways
	Yeah about country ways, oh country ways ...
