John Denver - Me And My Uncle слова песни
Me and my uncle went a ridin` downFrom Colorado, west Texas boundWe stopped over in Santa Fe,Part it being about half wayBesides it was the hottest part of the dayWe led our ponies into the stall,Went to a bar boys, bought drinks for allTwo days in the saddle, my body hurt.It being Summer, took off my shirtAnd 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, you know it seemed a shameAnd so my uncle, starts a friendly game.Hollow Jack the winner takes a gain.From the beginning my uncle started to winThem Texas cowboys, they was as mad as sinSome said he`s cheating. Aw, but that can`t be!Because my uncle, he`s as honest as me.And I`m about as honest as a Denver man can be.One of them cowboys, you know he started to draw.I grabbed the bottle, slapped him on the jawI had to shoot another, now he won`t grow oldIn the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold,We hightailed it down to Mexico, Mexico, way down to MexicoGod bless cowboys, God bless gold.God bless my uncle, God rest his soul.He taught me well, boys, taught me all I know.Taught me so well that I grabbed the goldLeft him lying there by the side of the road
