Me and my uncle went ridin' down From Colorado, west Texas bound And we stopped off in Santa Fe It bein' the part 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 bein' 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 from round-up, it seemed a shame So my uncle starts a friendly game High-low Jacks and the winner takes the gains From the beginnin' uncle starts to win Them Texas cowboys, they was mad as sin Some say he's cheatin', but that can't be 'Cause my uncle, he's honest as me And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be One of them cowboys, 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 high-tailed 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 that I grabbed the gold And I left him layin' there by the side of the road
