A F#m | A F#m | A F#m | A B | A C#m F#m | C#m F#m | Me and my uncle went ridin' down To South Colorado, west Texas bound We stopped over in Santa Fe, that day on the point, just about half way You know in Texas 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 saddle, you know my body hurt. It being summer, I took off my shirt And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt. West Texas cowboys, they was all around, Wheat liquor and money, they loaded down. So soon after payday, and it seemed a shame You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game. Yay it's a high low Jack and the winner takes the hand. Uncle started winning, cowboys got sore. One of them called him, and then two more. Accused him of cheating. Oh, no! it couldn't be! I know my uncle, he's as honest as me. And I'm as honest as a gamblin' gal can be. One of them cowboys, he starts to draw. And I shot him down, Lord. He never saw. Shot me another, and then two more In the confusion, we just grabbed the gold, And we hightailed it down to Mexico Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold. Love my uncle, rest his soul. Taught the 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
