John Denver - Me My Uncle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Me and my uncle went ariden down
  • From colorado west texas bound
  • We stopped over in santa fe
  • The part of being about half way.
  • Besides it was the hottest part of the day.
  • We led our ponies into a stall.
  • Went to a bar, boys.
  • Bought drinks for all.
  • Two days in the saddle, my body hurt,
  • And 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, their loaded down.
  • Just in for round up
  • You know it seemed a shame
  • And so my uncle starts a friendly game
  • Hollow jack, the winner takes the game.
  • But from the beginning my uncle started to win.
  • Them texas cowboys they was mad as sin.
  • Some said hes cheatin
  • Ah, but that cant be, because my uncle, well, hes as honest as me.
  • Im about as honest as a denver man can be.
  • One of them cowboys, you know he started to draw.
  • I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw.
  • I had to shoot another now he wont grow old
  • In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold.
  • We hightailed it down to mexico,
  • Mexico, went down to mexico.
  • God bless cowboys
  • God bless gold
  • God bless my uncle, God rest his soul
  • He taught me well, boys
  • He taught me all I know
  • Taught me so that I grabbed the gold
  • Left him lying there by the side of the road.
