Two partners went in search of gold as friendly as
could be One was young and one was old and the gay
young fool was me Since neighter one could write
his name we swore upon our souls To share the
wealth and then shook hands the hands that dug for
gold

The summer days were gone at last and winter
nights grew cold The snow had trapped us in the
pass when we finally find the gold We took our
fortune to the shack to wait the winter through
But the food ran low so I killed my friend what
else there was to do

I threw his body just outside into the bitter cold
Somehow I had to stay alive I now had all the gold
But the howling wind just seemed to say you have
killed a man And you'll never get to spend the
gold with the blood upon your hands

The cabin's covered now with snow and shelves of
food are bare Satan's waitin' for me now and I'm
too cold to care Is that the devil at the door
coming for my soul Or is it just the old man a
looking for his gold
