"The Nile Song" is the second song from Pink Floyds 1969 album, Soundtrack from the Film More. Released as a single in 1969, it was written by Roger Waters.

"The Nile Song" was covered by the Necros, on their 1986 album Tangled Up; by Mary Goes Round, on their 1989 album 70 Suns in the Sky; by Panthers; by Voivod, on their 1993 album, The Outer Limits'; and by Dreadnaught, on Read full article at wikipedia.org
