Me and My Uncle |
| Me and my uncle went riding down |
| South Colorado, West Texas bound |
| We stopped over in Santa Fe |
| That being 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 being summer, I took off my shirt |
| And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt |
| West Texas cowboys, they’s all around |
| Weed, liquor and money, they load it 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 winning; |
| cowboys got sore |
| One of them called him, and then two more |
| Accused him of cheating; |
| 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 |
