Me and My Uncle
Lyrics:
Me and my uncle went ridin' down
South Colorado, West Texas bound
We stopped over in Santa Fe
That bein' the point just about half way
And you know it was the hottest part of the day
I took the horses
up to the stall
Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all
Three
days in the saddle, you know my body hurt
It bein' summer, I took off
my shirt
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
West
Texas cowboys, they's all around
With liquor and money, they loaded
down
So soon after payday, know it seemed a shame
You know my
uncle, he starts a friendly game
High-low jack and the winner take
the hand
My uncle starts winnin'; cowboys got sore
One of them
called him, and then two more
Accused him of cheatin'; Oh no, it
couldn't be
I know my uncle, he's as honest as me
And I'm as
honest as a Denver man can be
One of them cowboys, he starts to
draw
And I shot him down, Lord he never saw
Shot me another, oh
damn he won't grow old
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico
I love those cowboys, I love
their gold
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good,
Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road
