me and my uncle - judy collins lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
we led our ponies into a stall
went to a bar, boys, bought 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

[verse 3]
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

[verse 4]
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
’cause my uncle he’s honest as me
and i’m as honest as a denver man can be

[verse 5]
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

[verse 6]
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 the gold
and i left him lying there by the side of the road
