west texas cowboys all over town
with gold and silver, they're loaded down
just in from roundup you know it seemed a shame
and so my uncle starts a friendly game
high low jack, the winner takes again
and from the beginning my uncle started to win
them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin
some said he was cheatin, but that can't be
because my uncle, why he's honest as me
I'm as honest as a Denver man can be
one of them cowboys, you know he started to draw
I grabbed a bottle, slapped him in the jaw
I had to shoot another, now he won't grow old
in my confusion, my uncle grabbed the gold
Em Em Em NC we hightailed it down to Mexico, went to mexico
god bless cowboys, god bless gold
god bless my uncle, god rest his soul
he taught me well boys taught me all I know
taught me so well, that I grabbed the gold
C B7 NC E left him lyin' by the side of the road
