Woman and gold have taken a hold of your life Power and fame have left you low and lame drowned in strife
You think you've got it right You're stumbling round in the night But low and behold You'll die for woman and gold
Fortune still smiles while you're piling up the gains your friends have lost The lover you seek is out of reach though you'd buy her at any cost You won't take my advice You're tossin' your fate like dice But low and behold You'll die for woman and gold
Woman and gold can be bought and sold by a fool But your soul needs savin' playin' with fire and fate can be mighty cruel Reach out before it's too late Remember that time won't wait Low and behold You'll die for woman and gold
