Jerry Jeff Walker - Navajo Rug lyrics

Ian Tyson/Tom Russell Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast Home fries on the side, You wash her down with the roadhouse coffee that burns up your inside, It's just a canyon, Colorado diner, A waitress I did love, We sat in the back 'neath an old stuffed bear, A worn out Navajo rug. Aye, aye, aye, Katie, Shades of red and blue Aye, aye, aye, Katie, Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? Well, old Jack the boss, he left at six It was, 'Katie, bar the door'. She'd pull down that Navajo rug And we'd spread it across the floor, I saw lightning frame the sacred mountains The wooing of the turtle doves Just 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? Well, I saw old Jack about a year ago, Said the place burned to the ground, All he saved was an old bear tooth And Katie she left town, Well, Katie, got a souvenir too, Jack smiled as he spit out a big old plug, Well, you shoulda seen her coming through the smoke She was dragging that Navajo rug. Aye, aye, aye, Katie, Shades of red and blue Aye, aye, aye, Katie, Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? So every time I cross the sacred mountains And lightning jumps above, It always takes me back in time To my long lost Katie love, You know everything keeps on a moving Everybody's on the go, Hey, you don't find things that last anymore Like a hand-woven Navajo. Aye, aye, aye, Katie, Shades of red and blue Aye, aye, aye, Katie, Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you!
