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