| I married | |
| Isis on the fifth day of | |
| MayBut I could not hold on to her very long | |
| So I cut off my hair and | |
| I rode straight away | |
| For the wild unknown country where | |
| I could not go wrong | |
| I came to a high place of darkness and light | |
| Dividing line ran through the center of town | |
| I hitched up my pony to a post on the right | |
| Went into a laundry to wash my clothes down | |
| A man in the corner approached me for a match | |
| I knew right away he was not ordinary | |
| He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?" | |
| I said, "I got no money", he said, "That ain't necessary" | |
| We set out that night for the cold in the | |
| NorthI gave him my blanket and he gave me his word | |
| I said, "Where are we goin'?", he said "We'd be back by the fourth" | |
| I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard" | |
| I was thinkin' about turquoise, | |
| I was thinkin' about gold | |
| I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace | |
| As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold | |
| I was thinkin' about | |
| Isis, how she thought | |
| I was so reckless | |
| How she told me that one day we would meet up again | |
| And things would be different the next time we wed | |
| If I only could hang on and just be her friend | |
| I still can't remember all the best things she said | |
| We came to the pyramids, all embedded in ice | |
| He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to findIf I carry it out it'll bring a good price"' | |
| Twas then that | |
| I knew what he had on his mind | |
| The wind it was howlin' and the snow was outrageous | |
| We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn | |
| When he died | |
| I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious | |
| But I made up my mind that | |
| I had to go on | |
| I broke into the tomb but the casket was empty | |
| There was no jewels, no nothin', | |
| I felt I'd been had | |
| When I saw that my partner was just bein' friendly | |
| When I took up his offer | |
| I musta been mad | |
| I picked up his body and | |
| I dragged him inside | |
| Threw him down in the hole and | |
| I put back the cover | |
| I said a quick prayer and | |
| I felt satisfied | |
| Then I rode back to find | |
| Isis just to tell her | |
| I love her | |
| She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise | |
| Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed | |
| I came in from the | |
| East with the sun in my eyes | |
| I cursed her one time then | |
| I rode on ahead | |
| She said, "Where ya been?", | |
| I said, "No place special" | |
| She said, "You look different", | |
| I said, "Well, I guess" | |
| She said, "You been gone", | |
| I said,"That's only natural" | |
| She said, "You gonna stay", | |
| I said, "If you want me to, yes" | |
| Isis, oh, | |
| Isis, you mystical child | |
| What drives me to you is what drives me insane | |
| I still can remember the way that you smiled | |
| On the fifth day of | |
| May in the drizzlin' rain |
