Me and My Uncle |
Me and my uncle went a ridin' down |
From Colorado West Texas bound |
We stopped over in Santa Fe The part of being about half way |
Besides it was the hottest part of the day |
We led our ponies into a stall |
Went to a bar, boys, bought drinks for all |
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt |
And being summer, took off my shirt |
And tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt |
West Texas cowboys all over town |
With gold and silver, their loaded down |
Just in for round up, you know it seemed a shame |
And so my uncle starts a friendly game |
It’s «Hi-lo Jack», the winner takes the game |
From the beginning my uncle started to win |
Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin |
Some said he’s cheatin', ah, but that can’t be Because my uncle, well, he’s as honest as me |
I’m about as honest as a Denver man can be One of them cowboys, you know he started to draw |
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw |
I had to shoot another now he won’t grow old |
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold |
We hightailed it down to Mexico |
God bless cowboys, god bless gold |
God bless my uncle, God rest his soul |
He taught me well, boys, he taught me all I know |
Taught me so well that I grabbed the gold |
Left him lying there by the side of the road |
