Tom Russell - Navajo rug

^GWell it's three eggs up on whiskey toast ^AmHomefries on the side ^CWash it down with truckstop coffee ^DBurns up your inside Just a ^GCanyon, Colorado diner And a ^Amwaitress I did love We ^Csat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear And a ^Dworn out Navajo rug

Well old ^GJack the boss he'd close at six Then it's ^AmKatie bar the door ^CShe'd pull down that Navajo rug And she'd ^Dspread it 'cross the floor Hey I saw l^Gightning in the sacred mountains Saw the ^Amdance of the turtle doves ^CLyin' next to Katie On ^Dthat old Navajo rug

^GAi-yi-yi, ^EmKatie, ^Cshades of red and ^Dblue Ai-yi-^Gyi, ^EmKatie ^CWhatever became of the Navajo rug and ^Gyou? ^{Em C D}

Well I ^Gsaw old Jack about a year ago He said the ^Amplace burned to the ground And ^Call he saved was an old bear tooth And ^DKatie she left town But ^GKatie she got her a souvenir too Jack ^Amspat out a tabacco plug He said "You ^Cshoulda seen her runnin' through the smoke ^DDraggin' that Navajo rug."
