Me & My Uncle

Me and my uncle went riding down From Colorado, west Texas bound And we stopped off in Santa Fe It being the point, about half way And besides it was the hottest part of the day We led our ponies into a stall Went to the bar boys,got drinks for all Two days in the saddle, my body hurt It 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, they're loaded down Just in from round up, it seemed a shame So my uncle starts a friendly game High low Jacks and the winner takes the gains From the beginning uncle starts to win Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin Some say he's cheating but that can't be 'Cos my uncle he's honest as me And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be One of them cowboys, he starts to draw I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw I shot me another he won't grow old In the confusion, uncle grabbed the gold And we high tailed it down to Mexico Now God bless cowboys and God bless gold God bless my uncle and rest his soul He taught me well boys, taught me all I know Taught me so well that I grabbed that gold And I left him lying there by the side of the road
