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 neither one could write his name, I swore u pon my soul _ _
To share the wealth and then shook hands _ _ _ | _ the ha nds that
dug for gold e4,2 d4,0 c5,0 _ Partners _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ |
Twas in the spring we packed our gear, a- northward we did go _ _
We crossed the mountain passes where the swirling rivers flow _
All summer long we panned the gold, no nuggets did we find _ _
But faith was great and hope was strong _ _ _ | _ we'd ge t the
gold in time e4,2 d4,0 c5,0 _ Partners _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ |
Oh the summer days were gone at last and the winter nights grew cold _ _
The snow had trapped us in the pass when we finally found 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 el se was
there to do e4,2 d4,0 c5,0 _ Partners _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ |
Oh the cabin's covered now with snow, the shelves of food are bare _ _
Satan's waiting for me now but I'm too cold to care _
Is that the devil at my door looking for my soul _ _
Or is it just the old man _ _ _ | _ looking fo r his
gold e4,2 d4,0 c5,0 _ Partners _ _ | !
