Me And My Uncle - Live at the Sydney Opera House, Australia - November 1977
Me and my uncle went a ridin' down
From Colorado West Texas bound
We stopped over in Santa Fe
The 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 up, you know it seemed a shame
And so my uncle starts a friendly game
It's "Hi-lo Jack", the winner takes the game
From the beginning my uncle started to win
Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin
Some said he's cheatin', ah, but that can't be
Because my uncle, well, he's as honest as me
I'm 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 won't grow old
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold
We hightailed it down to Mexico
God bless cowboys, god bless gold
God bless my uncle, God rest his soul
He taught me well, boys, he taught me all I know
Taught me so well that I grabbed the gold
Left him lying there by the side of the road
From Colorado West Texas bound
We stopped over in Santa Fe
The 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 up, you know it seemed a shame
And so my uncle starts a friendly game
It's "Hi-lo Jack", the winner takes the game
From the beginning my uncle started to win
Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin
Some said he's cheatin', ah, but that can't be
Because my uncle, well, he's as honest as me
I'm 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 won't grow old
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold
We hightailed it down to Mexico
God bless cowboys, god bless gold
God bless my uncle, God rest his soul
He taught me well, boys, he taught me all I know
Taught me so well that I grabbed the gold
Left him lying there by the side of the road
