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 dayWe 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 dirtWest Texas cowboys, all over town

With gold and silver, they're loaded down

Just in for roundup, you know it seemed a shame

And so my uncle starts a friendly game

High-low jack, the winner takes the gameFrom 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 beOne 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, Mexico, way down to MexicoGod 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
