Me & My Uncle (Live at Fillmore East, New York, NY, April 29, 1971) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

Me and my uncle went ridin' down

South colorado west texas bound

We stopped over in santa fe

That bein' the point just about half way

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 you know my body hurt

It bein' summer I took off my shirt

And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

West texas cowboys well they was 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

My uncle starts winnin' cowboys got sore

One of them called him and then two more

Accused him of cheatin' oh no it couldn't be

I know my uncle he's as honest as me

And I'm as honest as a gamblin' man can be that's me

One of them cowboys he starts to draw

And I shot him down lord he never saw

Shot me another oh damn 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 loved my uncle god rest his soul

Taught me good lord taught me all I know

Taught me so well well I grabbed that gold

And I left his dead a** there by the side of the road
