Me and my uncle went ridin' down From Colorado, west Texas bound And we stopped off in Santa Fe It bein' the place about half way And besides it was the hottest part of the day
We led our ponies into a stall Went to the bar, boys, bought drinks for all Two days in the saddle, my body hurt It being summer, took off my shirt And I 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 from roundup, it seemed a shame And so my uncle starts a friendly game Now it's hollow jack and winner take the game
From the beginning, uncle starts to win Them Texas cowboys, they was mad as sin Some say he's cheatin', that can't be 'Cause my uncle, he's as honest as me And I'm as honest as a Denver gal can be
One Texas cowboy, he starts to draw I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw I shot another, he won't grow old In the confusion, uncle grabbed the gold And we hightailed it down to Mexico
Now God bless cowboys, and God bless gold God bless my uncle, and rest his soul He taught me well boys, taught me all I know Taught me so well, boys, I grabbed that gold And I left him lyin' there, I left him lyin' there I left him lyin' there by the side of the roadTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
