Grateful Dead - Me & My Uncle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Me and my uncle went ridin down,
  • South colorado, west texas bound.
  • We stopped over in santa fe,
  • That bein the point just about half way,
  • 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.
  • When texas cowboys, theys all around,
  • With liquor and money, they loaded down.
  • So soon after payday, know it seemed a shame;
  • You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game,
  • High-low jack and the winner take the hand.
  • My uncle starts winnin; cowboys got sore.
  • One of them called him, and then two more,
  • Accused him of cheatin; oh no, it couldnt be.
  • I know my uncle, hes as honest as me,
  • And Im as honest as a gamblin man can be.
  • One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
  • And I shot him down, lord he never saw.
  • Well I grabbed a bottle, cracked him in the jaw,
  • Shot me another, oh damn he wont grow old.
  • In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,
  • And we high-tailed it down to mexico.
  • 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
  • Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
  • And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road.
