 [Verses] 
AGDA I married Isis on the fifth day of May
GDA But I could not hold on to her very long
GDA So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
GDA | A | A || For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.
 
AGDA I came to a high place of darkness and light
GDA The dividing line ran through the center of town
GDA I hitched up my pony to a post on the right
GDA | A | A || Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.
 
AGDA A man in the corner approached me for a match
GDA I knew right away he was not ordinary
GDA He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?"
GDA I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary".
 
AGCA We set out that night for the cold in the North
GDA I gave him my blanket he gave me his word
GDA I said "Where are we going ?" He said "We'd be back by the fourth"
GDA I said "That's the best news that I've ever heard".
 
AGDA I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
GDA I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
GDA As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
GDA I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.
 
AGDA How she told me that one day we will meet up again
GDA And things would be different the next time we wed
GDA If I only could hang on and just be her friend
GDA I still can't remember all the best things she said.
AGDA We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice
GDA He said "There's a body I'm trying to find
GDA If I carry it out it'll bring a good price"
GDA It was then that I knew what he had on his mind.
 
AGDA The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous
GDA We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
GDA When he died I was hoping that it wasn't contagious
GDA But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
 
AGDA I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty
GDA There was no jewels no nothing I felt I'd been had
GDA When I saw that my partner was just being friendly
GDA When I took up his offer I must-a been mad.
 
AGDA I picked up his body and I dragged him inside
GDA Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover
GDA I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied
GDA Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
 
AGDA She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise
GDA Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed
GDA I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes
GA I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead.
 
AGDA She said "Where ya been ?" I said "No place special"
GDA She said "You look different" I said "Well I guess"
GDA She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural"
GDA She said "You gonna stay ?" I said "If you want me to, Yeah ".
 
AGDA Isis oh Isis you mystical child
GDA What drives me to you is what drives me insane
GDA I still can remember the way that you smiled
GDA On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain.
