grateful dead – me and my uncle (live at the palladium, nyc, april 30, 1977) lyrics
me and my uncle went riding down
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
i took the horses up to the stall
went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all
three days in the saddle, know my body hurt
it being summer, i took off my shirt
and i tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
west texas cowboys, they’s all around
with liquor and money, they loaded down
so soon after payday, know it seemed a shame
you know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
high-low jack and the winner take the hand
[instrumental break]
my uncle starts winning; cowboys got sore
one of them called him, and then two more
accused him of cheating; oh no, it couldn’t be
i know my uncle, he’s as honest as me
hey, and i’m as honest as a denver man can be, that’s me
one of them cowboys, he starts to draw
well, i grab a bottle, crack him in the jaw
shot me another, well hot d-mn, he won’t grow old
in the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
and we high-tailed it down to mexico
i love those cowboys, i love their gold
i love my uncle, god rest his soul
taught me good, lord, taught me all i know
taught me so well, i grabbed that gold
and i left him lyin’ there by the side of the road
