Isis
DIntroAVerse 1AI married GIsis on the Dfifth day of AMay
But I could not holdG on to herD very longA
So I cut off my hairG and I rodeD straight awayA
For the wild unknown Gcountry where I Dcould not go wrongAVerse 2I Acame to a Ghigh place of Ddarkness and Alight
Dividing line Gran through the cenDter of townA
I hitched up my Gpony to a Dpost on the Aright
Went in to a Glaundry to Dwash my clothes AdownVerse 3A Aman in the cornGer Dapproached me for a Amatch
I knew right away heG was not ordDinary A
He said, are you lookGin' for somethin' Deasy to catchA
Said, I got no Gmoney, he said, Dthat ain't necessaryAVerse 4We Aset out that Gnight for the coldD in the NorthA
I gave him my blanGket, he gaveD me his word A
I said, where are we Ggoin', he said we'd Dbe back by the fourth A
I said, that's the Gbest news that I've Dever heardAVerse 5I was Athinkin' about Gturquoise, I was Dthinkin' about goldA
I was thinkin' about Gdiamonds and the Dworld's biggest neckAlace
As we rode through the Gcanyons, through the deviDlish coldA
I was thinkin' about GIsis, how she Dthought I was so reckAlessVerse 6How she Atold me that oneG day we would Dmeet up againA
And things would be Gdifferent the Dnext time we wedA
If I only could Ghang on and justD be her friendA
I still can't remember Gall the Dbest things she saidAVerse 7We Acame to the pyraGmids all Dembedded in iceA
He said, there's a bodyG I'm tryDin' to findA
If I carry it Gout it'll Dbring a good priceA
'Twas then that I Gknew what he Dhad on his mindAVerse 8The Awind it was Ghowlin' and the snow Dwas outraAgeous
We chopped through the Gnight and we Dchopped through the Adawn
When he died I was Ghopin' that it Dwasn't contagiousA
But I made up my Gmind that I Dhad to go onAVerse 9I Abroke into the Gtomb, but the Dcasket was Aempty
There was no jewels, no nothGin', I Dfelt I'd been hadA
When I saw that my partGner was just Dbein' friendlyA
When I took up his Goffer I Dmust-a been AmadVerse 10I Apicked up his Gbody and I Ddragged him inAside
Threw him down in the Ghole and I Dput back the Acover
I said a quick prayer Gand I Dfelt satisAfied
Then I rode back to find GIsis just Dto tell her I love herAVerse 11She was Athere in the meadowG where the Dcreek used to riseA
Blinded by Gsleep and in needD of a bedA
I came in from the EastG with the sunD in my eyesA
I cursed her one Gtime then I rode on aheadAVerse 12She Asaid, where ya Gbeen? I said, no Dplace speAcial
She said, you look Gdifferent, I said, Dwell, I guessA
She said, you been Ggone, I said, that's Donly naturalA
She said, you gonna Gstay? I said, if youD want me to, yesAVerse 13AIsis, oh, GIsis, you mystDical childA
What drives me to Gyou is what Ddrives me insaneA
I still can Gremember the Dway that you smilAed
On the fifth day of GMay in the Ddrizzlin' ArainOutroA G D AEnd
