Me and my uncle went riding down [00:00:07]
South Colorado West Texas bound [00:00:11]
We stopped over in Santa Fe [00:00:16]
That being the point just about half way [00:00:20]
And you know it was the hottest part of the day [00:00:24]
I took the horses up to the stall [00:00:30]
Went to the barroom ordered drinks for all [00:00:34]
Three days in the saddle you know my body hurt [00:00:38]
Indian summer I took off my shirt [00:00:43]
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt [00:00:47]
West Texas cowboys they's all around [00:00:53]
With liquor and money they're loaded down [00:00:57]
So soon after payday know it seemed a shame [00:01:01]
You know my uncle he starts a friendly game [00:01:05]
Hey highlow jack and the winner take the hand [00:01:10]
My uncle starts winning cowboys got sore [00:02:02]
One of them called him and then two more [00:02:06]
Accused him of cheating oh no it couldn't be [00:02:10]
I know my uncle he's as honest as me [00:02:14]
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be [00:02:19]
One of them cowboys he starts to draw [00:02:25]
And I shot him down Lord he never saw [00:02:29]
Shot me another oh damn he won't grow old [00:02:33]
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold [00:02:37]
And we high tailed it down to Mexico [00:02:42]
I love those cowboys I love their gold [00:02:48]
I loved my uncle God rest his soul [00:02:52]
Taught me good Lord taught me all I know [00:02:56]
Taught me so well I grabbed that gold [00:03:01]
And I left his dead a** there by the side of the road[00:03:05]
