"Partners" is the gold miner tune, taught to Gord by Red
"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 upon my soul To share the wealth and then shook hands, the hands that dug for gold - Partners
Twas was 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 get the gold in time - 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 else was there to do - 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 for his gold"
