Shaman's Blues is a song performed by The Doors written in 1969. It is the third track on the album The Soft Parade. The song describes a shaman pleading with his ex-lover to return back to him. He states that he knows the woman's "moves and your mind" but doesn't seem to be able to sway her and bring her back to him.
The spoken segment at the end of the song was created by layering various ad-lib segments from Jim Morrison's tracks.
He's sweatin', look at him…/ Optical promise…/ (Heh, heh, heh.) You'll be dead and in hell before I'm born…/ Sure thing…/ Bridesmaid…/ The only solution isn't it amazing?
