Verse 1:
G Em
Me and my uncle went riding down,
G Em
South Colorado, west texas bound,
G Em
we stopped over in Santa Fe,
G A
That being the point just about half way,
G B Em
and, you know, it was the hottest part of the day
Verse 2:
G Em
I took the horses up to the stall,
G Em
went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all,
G Em
three days in the saddle, you know, my body hurt,
G A
it being summer, I took off my shirt
G B Em
and I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt.
Verse 3:
G Em
West Texas cowboys, they's all around,
G Em
with liquor and money, they's loaded down,
G Em
so soon after payday, you know, it seemed a shame,
G A
you know my uncle, he starts a friendly game,
G B Em
Hey, high low jack and the winner take the hand
Solo:

Verse 4:
G Em
My uncle starts winning, cowboys got sore,
G Em
one of them called him, and then two more,
G Em
accused him of cheating, oh no, it couldn't be,
G A
I know my uncle, he's as honest as me,
G B Em
and I'm as honest as a Denver man can be.
Verse 5:
G Em
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw,
G Em
I shot him down, Lord, he never saw,
G Em
Shot me another, hot damn, he won't grow old,
G A
in the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold
G B Em
and we high tailed it down to Mexico
Verse 6:
G Em
I love those cowboys, I love their gold,
G Em
I loved my uncle, God rest his soul,
G Em
he taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know,
G A
taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
G B Em
and I left his dead ass there by the side of the road.
