Navajo Rug Composer(s): Tom Russell; Ian Tyson Performer(s): Ian Tyson; Tom Russell; Jerry Jeff Walker
Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast Home fries on the side Wash it down with roadhouse coffee Burns up your inside It's 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
Now old Jack the boss, he left at six And it's, 'Katie bar the door' She'd pull down that Navajo rug And she spread it on the floor Hey, I saw lightning 'cross the sacred mountains Saw woven turtle doves When I was Iying next to Katie On that old Navajo rug
Aye, aye, aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Aye, aye, aye, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you?
I saw old Jack about a year ago He said the place burned to the ground And all I saued was this here old bear tooth And Katie she's left town But Katie, she got her souvenir too Jack spit a tobacco plug You shoulda seen her coming through the smoke With that old Navajo rug
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 And everyone's on the go You don't find things that last anymore Like an old woven Navajo
Aye, aye, aye, Katie Shades of red and blue Ayer aye, aye, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you!
