[G] [Em]
[G] Me and my uncle went [Em] riding down South [G] Colorado, West [Em] Texas bound.
We [G] stopped over in [Em] Santa Fe.
[G] That being the point, just about [A] halfway.
[G] Yeah, you know it [B] was the honey [Em] potty.
I [G] brought the horses up [Em] to the stall.
Went [G] to the bar room, poured a [Em] drink for all.
Two [G] days in the saddle, my [Em] body hurt.
Well [G] it being summer, I took [A] off my shirt.
[G] And I tried to [B] wash off some of that [Em] dust.
West [G] Texas cowboys, they [Em] all around.
The [G] liquor and money, they [Em] loaded down.
Soon [G] after payday, it [Em] seemed a shame.
But you know [G] my uncle, he starts a [A] friendly game.
[G] Well a hollow [B] jack and a bill [Em] takes the hand.
[G] Off the saddle went in, [Em] cowboys got sold.
[G] One of them caught him, and [Em] then two more.
[G] Accused of cheating, that [Em] just couldn't be.
Well I [G] know my uncle, he's as [A] honest as me.
[G] Yeah, not [B] as honest as a [Em] bossy kid.
[G] One of them cowboys, he [Em] starts a trial.
[G] I shot him down, though, he [Em] never saw.
I [G] shot me another, he [Em] won't grow old.
In [G] all the confusion, uncle [A] grabbed that gold.
[G] And we [B] had to live down [Em] in Mexico.
I [G] love them cowboys, I [Em] love their gold.
[G] Love my uncle, [Em] God rest his soul.
[G] Taught me good, Lord, taught me [Em] all I know.
Well he taught [G] me so well, I got [A] that gold.
[G] And I left his dead [B] ass there on the [Em] side of the road.
