Navajo Rug

Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast And home fries on the side Wash it down with the road house coffee Burns up your insides Just a Canyon-Colorado Diner And a waitress I did love I sat in the back neath an old stuffed bear And a worn out Navajo rug Well Old Jack, the boss, he left at six And it's Katie bar the door She'd pull down that Navajo rug And she'd spread it across the floor Hey, I saw lightning cross the sacred mountains Saw woven turtle doves I was sittin' next to Katie On that old Navajo rug [Chorus] Aye, Aye, Aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye, Aye, Aye, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you Katie, shades of red and blue Well I saw old Jack about a year ago He said the place burned to the ground And all I saved was this old bear tooth And Katie, she's left town Oh, but Katie, she got her souvenir too Jack spat a tobacco plug Well you should have seen her a-coming through the smoke Draggin' that Navajo rug [Chorus] So every time I cross the sacred mountains And lightning breaks above It always takes me back in time To my long lost Katie love But everything keeps on a-moving Yeah, everybody's on the go You don't find things that last anymore Like an old woven Navajo [Chorus: x2] --- Navajo Rug - Ian Tyson
