Текст песни Me And My Uncle (Grateful Dead) с переводом

Me and my uncle went riding down

South Colorado, West Texas bound

We stopped over in Santa Fe

That being 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 being summer, I took off my shirt

And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt

West Texas cowboys, they’s all around

Weed, liquor and money, they load it 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 winning; cowboys got sore

One of them called him, and then two more

Accused him of cheating; oh no, it couldn’t be

I know my uncle, he’s as honest as me

And I’m as honest as a Denver man can be

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, I grabbed that gold

And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road
