I married Isis on the fifth day of May

FB

But I could not hold on to her very long

E

B

FB

FB

So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away

E

B

FB

FB

For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.

E

B

FB

FB

I came to a high place of darkness and light

E

B

FB

FB

The dividing line ran through the center of town

E

B

FB

FB

I hitched up my pony to a post on the right

E

B

FB

FB

Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

E

B

FB

FB

A man in the corner approached me for a match

E

B

FB

FB

I knew right away he was not ordinary

E

B

FB

FB

He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"

E

B

FB

FB

I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".

E

B

FB

FB

We set out that night for the cold in the North

E

B

FB

FB

I gave him my blanket he gave me his word

E

B

FB

FB

I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"

E

B

FB

FB

I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard".

E

B

FB

FB

I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold

E

B

FB

FB

I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace

E

B

FB

FB

As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold

E

B

FB

FB

I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.

E

B

FB

FB

How she told me that one day we meet up again

E

B

FB

FB

And things would be different the next time we wed

E

B

FB

FB

If I only could hang on and just be her friend

E

B

FB

FB

I still can't remember all the best things she said.

E

B

FB

FB

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice

E

B

FB

FB

He said "There's a body I'm trying to find

E

B

FB

FB

If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"

E

B

FB

FB

It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.

E

B

FB

FB

The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous

E

B

FB

FB

We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn

E

B

FB

FB

When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious

E

B

FB

FB

But I made up my mind that I had to go on.

E

B

FB

FB

I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty

E

B

FB

FB

There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had

E

B

FB

FB

When I saw that my partner was just being friendly

E

B

FB

FB

When I took up his offer I must?a been mad.

E

B

FB

FB

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside

E

B

FB

FB

Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover

E

B

FB

FB

I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied

E

B

FB

FB

Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.

E

B

FB

FB

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise

E

B

FB

FB

Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed

E

B

FB

FB

I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes

E

B

FB

FB

I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
