He found a lost gold mine, then died without staking a claim...

lyrics

SILVER MACLEAN
ROUND HERE YOU MIGHT HEAR A STORY
OF A MAN NAMED SILVER MACLEAN
THEY SAY THAT HE FOUND A LOST GOLD MINE
AND DIED WITHOUT STAKING A CLAIM
NOW SILVER AND ME ONCE WAS PARTNERS
WE KNEW EVERY CANYON AND DRAW
ONE DAY WE STUMBLED ON THAT OLD MINE
MORE GOLD THAN YOU EVER SAW

THAT GOLD MINE WAS HID BY A BOULDER
LOOKED JUST LIKE A TOMBSTONE
IN LEGEND THERE’S A CURSE ON THAT TOMBSTONE
THAT’S WORSE THAN THE FEVERISH MADNESS OF ITS GOLD
SOME SAY THAT SILVER WAS MURDERED
ON THE NIGHT THAT HE DISAPPEARED
BUT SILVER SWORE ME TO SILENCE
HIS FEVER WAS MUCH STRONGER THAN FEAR
EVERY NIGHT HE RIDES, SEARCHING AGAIN
FOR THAT LOST TOMBSTONE MINE WE ONCE FOUND
BUT HE’S SEARCHING IN VAIN
WITH A HEART OF STEEL AND A BURNING BREATH
HE FOLLOWS ME RIGHT TO MY DEATH
I’M THE ONE THAT KNOWS THE SCORE
I KNOW WHAT HE’S SEARCHING FOR

TONIGHT DOWN HERE IN THE VALLEY
THE PRISONER WAITS FOR AN OLD FRIEND
AND A PROMISE HE SWORE HE WOULD KEEP
TOMORROW AT DAYBREAK THEY HANG ME
BUT BEFORE THEY AWAKE I’LL BE GONE
WITH SILVER MY FRIEND I WILL RIDE ONCE AGAIN
INTO THAT COLD HEARTED DAWN
EVERY NIGHT HE RIDES, SEARCHING AGAIN
FOR THAT LOST TOMBSTONE MINE WE ONCE FOUND
BUT HE’S SEARCHING IN VAIN
WITH A HEART OF STEEL AND A BURNING BREATH
HE FOLLOWS ME RIGHT TO MY DEATH
I’M THE ONE THAT KNOWS THE SCORE
I KNOW WHAT HE’S SEARCHING FOR
WITH HIS HEART OF STEEL
