	I'm awful sad to say

	G
	That my partner died last week

	D
	And I'm so shook up inside,

	G	A
	I can barely even sp	eak,

	D
	I don't know how he died

	G	G
	It all came as such a sh	ock......

	D
But	i suspect he started feeling ill

	A	D
	When i hit him with a ro	ck

	D
	We where partners in a claim

	G
	Up in gold hill Idaho,

	D
	And we'd yet to find something

	G	A
	Golden except the y	ellow snow,(first song)

	D	G
	My partner joe god bless his	soul

	A	D
H	ad hit the mother loa	d

	D
	"Well I'll use my gold" said my partner Joe

	G
	To get my education

	D
	And if any is left when I am through

	G	A
	I'll give it to sick chi	ldren

	D
	Well i thought that Joe was crazy

	G	G
	For to hear him talk like th	at.....

	D
	So i decided it was best for joe

	A	D
	If he took a little n	ap

	D
	So i picked up a big old piece of gold,

	G
	And I hit joe on the head,

	D
	And joe shut his weary eyes,

	G	A
	And lay down on the rocky b	ed,

	D
	"you take some rest my faithful friend"

	G
	Said i as joe lay down

	D
	And let me load this wagon

	G	A
	With the gold that you have fo	und.

(This is my first song I'm not proud)

So like the true friend that i was

I loaded up the ore

While my partner joe lay silently

sleeping on the floor

And when the gold was loaded

And i was set to get to town.....

I tried to wake my sleepy friend

But he refused to come around.

"Well if that don't wake you up,

I know something that just might"

Said I as i lit up

A few sticks of dynamite,

I settle down and waited,

For them to wake Joe from his dream....

But alas i put the sticks to close and Joe blew to smithereens,

And if Joes luck wasnt bad enough

He lay close toe the mine,

And when the dynamite went off,

he was covered by mountain slime,

Alas said I "all evidence

Is gone of poor Joe's life....

All that left is a ton of gold

And a little less dynamite,

So now Joe rests in pieces,

And i on a water bed,

But it doesnt bother me a bit,

That my partner joe is dead,

For while some people might say

That miner got the shaft.....(first song)

I'm the only one that knows

That Old Joe had a blast

Hope it sounds ok!
