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
