^AmMe and my ^Cuncle went ridin' ^Amdown South Color-^Cado, West Texas ^Ambound We stopped ^Cover in Santa ^AmFe That point ^Cbeing just about half ^Dway And ^Cyou know it was the ^Ehottest part of the ^Amday

I took the ^Chorses up to the ^Amstall Went to the ^Cbarroom, ordered drinks for ^Amall Three days in the ^Csaddle, you know my body ^Amhurt It bein' ^Csummer, I took off my ^Dshirt And I ^Ctried to wash off ^Esome of that dusty ^Amdirt

West Texas ^Ccowboys, they's all ^Amaround With liquor and ^Cmoney, they're loaded ^Amdown So soon after ^Cpayday, you know it seemed a ^Amshame You know my ^Cuncle, he starts a friendly ^Dgame ^CHigh-low jack and the ^Ewinner take the ^Amhand

^AmMy uncle starts ^Cwinnin' - cowboys got ^Amsore One of them ^Ccalled him and then two ^Ammore Accused him of ^Ccheatin' - oh no, it couldn't ^Ambe I know my ^Cuncle - he's as honest as ^Dme And ^CI'm as honest as a ^EDenver man can ^Ambe
