Testo Me & My Uncle - Judy Collins
Testo della canzone Me & My Uncle (Judy Collins), tratta dall'album The Judy Collins Concert
Me and my uncle went ridin' down
From Colorado, west Texas bound
And we stopped off in Santa Fe
It bein' the part about half-way
And besides, it was the hottest part of the day
We led our ponies into a stall
Went to the bar, boys, bought drinks for all
Two days in the saddle, my body hurt
It bein' 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 they're loaded down
Just in from round-up, it seemed a shame
So my uncle starts a friendly game
High-low Jacks and the winner takes the gains
From the beginnin' uncle starts to win
Them Texas cowboys, they was mad as sin
Some say he's cheatin', but that can't be
'Cause my uncle, he's honest as me
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw
I shot another, he won't grow old
In the confusion uncle grabbed the gold
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico
Now, God bless cowboys and God bless gold
God bless my uncle and rest his soul
He taught me well, boys, taught me all I know
Taught me so well that I grabbed the gold
And I left him layin' there by the side of the road
