1
Sweet Sister Ray went to a movie
2
that had come around
3
It was the biggest movie
4
that had ever come to town
5
Why this is the weirdest movie
6
I've seen in my days
7
I've never seen a stranger film anywhere
8
Why I must be dead
9
'cause I never felt this way ailve
10
Oh I've never felt this way
11
since nineteen fifty-five
12
Just then Sister Ray
13
felt a hand on her knee
14
[I'm] a young crippled orphan
15
and I come here constantly
16
Why it's just like a mental hospital
17
those don't have any locks
18
Just then comes in the doctor
19
giving us electroshocks
20
All the vaseline on your forehead
21
makes you feel so nice
22
My hair stood up on end
23
and I thought I'd been froze(?) with a knife
24
Oh I'm so pretty
25
purple earrings and all
26
No one knew you were crazy
27
That you told 'em
28
Just then I saw
29
a hole in the ground
30
And I jumped right in
31
'cause there was no one around
32
[long instrumental break into "Sister Ray"]
33
(Transcribed from original recording; La Cave, Cleveland, 28 April, 1968)
