John Denver - Me My Uncle слова песни
Me and my uncle went ariden downFrom colorado west texas boundWe stopped over in santa feThe 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, their loaded down.Just in for round upYou know it seemed a shameAnd so my uncle starts a friendly gameHollow jack, the winner takes the game.But from the beginning my uncle started to win.Them texas cowboys they was mad as sin.Some said hes cheatinAh, but that cant be, because my uncle, well, hes as honest as me.Im 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 wont grow oldIn the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold.We hightailed it down to mexico,Mexico, went down to mexico.God bless cowboysGod bless goldGod bless my uncle, God rest his soulHe taught me well, boysHe taught me all I knowTaught me so that I grabbed the goldLeft him lying there by the side of the road.
