Me And My Uncle |
Me
and my uncle went riding on down...West Colorado...Texas town |
We
stopped over in Santa Fe...that being the point bout half way |
Besides
it was the hottest part of the day |
I
took the horses down to the stall...I went to a bar...ordered drinks for
all |
Three
days in the saddle...my body hurt...It being summer...I took off my shirt
|
I
was tryin to wash off some of that dusty dirt |
West
Texas cowboys all over town, with liquor and money my friend they was
loaded down |
So
soon after payday...it seemed a shame...so me and my uncle starts up a
friendly game |
We
call it high low jack and the winner takes the hand |
Unc
starts to winning the cowboys are getting sore...one cowboy calls him
down... and then two more |
They
said he was cheatin...aw but that can't be...I know my uncle man and he's
honest as me |
and
I'm as honest as a devil of a man could be |
One
of those cowboys starts to draw...I shot him down my friend before he
saw me |
I
shot another godamn and he won't grow old...and in confusion my uncle
grabbed the gold |
and
we hightailed it down to Mexico |
I
love them cowboys...I love their gold...I love my uncle...God rest his
soul |
he taught me good man...taught me all i know...he taught me so good...I
grabbed the gold |
I left him lying there by the side of the road
