Me And My Uncle (Live at the Sydney Opera House, Australia - November 1977)

歌詞

Me and my uncle went a'ridin' 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 they're loaded down Just in for round up You know it seemed a shame And so my uncle starts a friendly game High low jack the winner takes the game From the beginning my uncle started to win Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin Some said the's cheatin' Ah, but that can't be because my uncle well, he's as honest as me I'm 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 won't grow old In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold We hightailed it down to Mexico Mexico, way 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
