| Bb | Ab | Eb | Bb | |
| I married | Isis on the | fifth day of | May |
| Ab | Eb | Bb | |
| But I could not hold | on to her | very long |
| Ab | Eb | Bb | |
| So I cut off my | hair and I ro | de straight aw | ay |
| Ab | Eb | Bb | |
| For the wild unkown co | untry where I co | uld not go wr | ong |
| I came to a high place of darkness and light |
| The dividing line ran through the centre of town |
| So 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 something easy to catch?" |
| I said, "I ain't got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary". |
| We set out that night for the cold in the North. |
| I gave him my blanket, 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 I ever heard." |
| I was thinking about turquiose I was thinking about gold. |
| I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace. |
| As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold, |
| I was thinking about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless. |
| How she told me that one day we'd meet up again, |
| And things would be different the next time we wed, |
| If only I'd hang on and just be her friend. |
| I still can't remember all the best things she said. |
| We came to the pyramids all embeded in ice. |
| He said, "There's a body I'm trying to find. |
| If I carry it out, it'll fetch a good price." |
| 'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind. |
| The wind it was howling and the snow was outrageous. |
| We chopped through the night, and we chopped through the dawn. |
| When he died I was hoping 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 were no jewels, no nothing. I felt I'd been had. |
| Then I saw that my partner was just being friendly. |
| When I took up his offer I must-a been mad. |
| I picked up his body and I dragged it inside, |
| Threw it down into the hole, and I put back the cover. |
| I said a quick prayer, and I felt satified. |
| 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, "Well if you want me to, yes." |
| Isis oh Isis you're a 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 drizziling rain. |
