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 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....We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice.He said, "There's a body I'm tryin' to find.If 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 must-a 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.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
