Me and my uncle went ridin' down,
South Colorado, West Texas bound.
That bein' the point just about half way,
We stopped over in Santa Fe,
And you know it was the hottest part of the day.
I took the horses up to the stall,
Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all. Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt,
It bein' summer, I took off my shirt,
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt.
With liquor and money, they loaded down. When Texas cowboys, they's all around,
HighSo soon after payday, know it seemed a shame,
You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game,
My uncle starts winnin', cowboys got sore.
Accused him of cheatin', Oh no, it couldn't be.
One of them called him, and then two more, I know my uncle, he's as honest as me,
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be. One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
Well I grabbed a bottle, cracked him in the jaw,
And I shot him down, Lord he never saw.
Shot me another, oh damn he won't grow old.
In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,
And we high
I love those cowboys, I love their gold,
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul,
Taught me good, Lord, Taught me all I know
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the roadTaught me so well, I grabbed that gold.
