Karaoké Navajo Rug Ian Tyson

Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast and home fries on the side

Wash it down with the road house coffee

Burns up your insides

Just a Canyon-Colorado Diner and a waitress I did love

I sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear and a worn out Navajo rug

Well Old Jack the boss he left at six and it's Katie bar the door

She'd pull down that Navajo rug and she'd spread it 'cross the floor

Hey I saw lightnin' 'cross the sacred mountains

Saw woven turtle doves

I was lyin' next to Katie on that old Navajo rug

Ay ay ay

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Ay ay ay

Katie

Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Well I saw old Jack about a year ago

He said the place burned to the ground

And all I saved was this old bear tooth and Katie she's left town

Oh but Katie she got her a souvenir too

Jack spat a tobacco plug

Well you should have seen her a-comin' through the smoke draggin' that Navajo rug

Ay ay ay

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Ay ay ay

Katie

Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

So every time I cross the sacred mountains and lightnin' breaks above

It always takes me back in time to my long lost Katie love

But everything keeps on a-movin'

Yeah everybody's on the go

And you don't find things that last anymore like an old woven Navajo

Ay ay ay

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Ay ay ay

Katie

Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Ay ay ay

Katie

Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you

Katie

Shades of red and blue

Ay ay ay
