[Verse 1]
G D7 G Em7 Two partners went in search of gold G D7 G Em As friendly as could be G D7 G Em7 One was young and one was old G D7 G Em And the gay young fool was me D7 G Since neither one could write his name Am D7 We swore upon our souls G D7 Em7 C To share the wealth and then shook hands C D7 G The hands that dug for gold. (oh, partners)
[Verse 2]
G D7 G Em7 The summer days were gone at last G D7 G Em And winter nights grew cold G D7 G Em7 The snow had trapped us in the pass G D7 G Em When we finally found the gold D7 G We took our fortune to the shack Am D7 To wait the winter through G D7 Em7 C But the food ran low so I killed my friend C D7 G What else was there to do? (oh, partners)
[Verse 3]
G D7 G Em7 I threw his body just outside G D7 G Em Into the bitter cold G D7 G Em7 Somehow I had to stay alive G D7 G Em I now had all the gold D7 G But the howling wind just seemed to say Am D7 You have killed a man G D7 Em7 C And you'll never get to spend the gold C D7 G With blood upon your hands. (oh, partners)
[Verse 4]
G D7 G Em7 The cabin's covered now with snow G D7 G Em And shelves of food are bare G D7 G Em7 Satan's waitin' for me now G D7 G Em And I'm too cold to care D7 G Is that the devil at the door Am D7 Coming for my soul G D7 Em7 C Or is it just the old man C D7 G A looking for his gold? (oh, partners)...
