Me And My Uncle (Live at the Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 2/18/71)

Well, 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
 Well, I took the horses up to the stall
 Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all
 Well, three days in the saddle, know my body hurt
 It being summer, I took off my shirt
 Then I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
 West Texas cowboys, they's all around
 With liquor and money, they low it down
 So soon after payday, know it seemed a shame
 You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
 Hey-now, high-low jack and the winner take the hand
 ♪
 My uncle started winning, cowboys got sore
 One of them called him, and then two more
 Accused him of cheating, well, 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
 One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
 Shot him down, Lord, he never saw
 Shot me another, well, hot damn, he won't grow old
 In the confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
 Hey-now, we high-tailed it down to Mexico
 I love those cowboys, I love their gold
 Love my uncle, God rest his soul
 He taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
 Taught me so well, well, I grabbed that gold
 And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road

 Ah, folks, we're gonna take a short break (yeah)
 We're gonna take a break (come back and purp a while)
 And we'll be back
 That's right, we're gonna take a break and you can watch our dust
 Ah, you guys can, ah
 You can take a break, too (whoop it up, now)
 Boogie all night long
 Everybody gets to take a break
