Am Me and my Uncle went a ridin down
>From Colo C rado, West Texas E bound
We stopped Am over in Sante Fe,
Part it C being  about half E way
Am Besides it was the E hottest part of the Am day

Am We led our ponies into the stall
Went to a C bar boys bought drinks for E all
Two days in the Am saddle, my body hurt
It being C summer, I took off my E shirt
And Am tried to wash off E some of that dusty Am dirt

Am West Texas cowboys all over town
With gold and C silver, they're loaded E down
Just in from Am round up you know it seemed a shame
So my C Uncle starts a friendly E game
A Am hollow jack the E winner takes the Am gain

Am From the beginning my Uncle started to win
Them Texas C cowboys they was as mad as E sin
Some said he's Am cheatin', ah but that can't be
Because my C Uncle, he's as honest as E me
And Am I'm about as honest as a E Denver man can Am be

Am One of them cowboys you know he started to draw
I grabbed a C bottle, slapped him on the E jaw
I had to shoot Am another, now he won't grow old
In the C confusion, my Uncle grabbed the E gold
And Am we hightailed it E down to Mexi Amco
...Mexico...way down to Mexico

Instrumental verse
Am God bless cowboys, God bless gold
God bless my C Uncle, God rest his E soul
He taught me Am well Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so C well, that I grabbed the E gold
Am Left him lying E there by the side of the Am road
