Me And My Uncle - Grateful Dead Chorded by Egg Flipper (2012) [Verse] Me and my uncle went ridin’ down South Color-ado West Texas bound We stopped over in Santa Fe That point being just about half way And you know it was the hottest part of the day [Verse] I took the horses up to the stall Went to the barroom ordered drinks for all Three days in the saddle you know my body hurt It bein’ summer I took off my shirt And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt [Verse] West Texas cowboys they’s all around With liquor and money they’re loaded down So soon after payday you know it seemed a shame You know my uncle he starts a friendly game High-low jack and the winner take the hand [Solo] [Verse] My uncle starts winnin’ - cowboys got sore One of them called him and then two more Accused him of cheatin’ - oh no it couldn’t be I know my uncle - he’s as honest as me And I’m as honest as a Denver man can be [Verse] One of them cowboys he starts to draw I shot him down Lord he never saw Shot me a-nother hot damn he won’t grow old And in the con-fusion my uncle grabbed the gold And we high-tailed it down to Mexi-co [Verse] I love those cowboys I love their gold I loved my uncle God rest his soul He taught me 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
