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
When 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
Well I grabbed a bottle
cracked him in the jaw
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.
