Karaoké Me and My Uncle (live) Grateful Dead

Me and my uncle went ridin' down to South Colorado

West Texas bound

We stopped over in Santa Fe

That being the point just about halfway

And you know it was the hottest part of the day

And 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

West Texas cowboys they was all around

Wheat, liquor and money

They loaded down

So soon after payday no it seemed a shame

You know my uncle

He starts playin' the game

Hey now high-low jack and the winner take the hand

My uncle start winnin'

The 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

Hey now I'm as honest as a Denver man can be

That's right

One of them cowboys he starts to draw and I shot him down Lord but he never saw

Shot me another

Hot damn he won't grow old

In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold

And we hightail it down to Mexico

You now I love those cowboys

I love their gold

Love my uncle

God rest his soul

Taught me good Lord

Taught me all I know

Taught me so well that I grabbed that gold

And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road

Yeah
