Tom Russell - Navajo Rug lyrics

Well it's three eggs up on whiskey toast And home fries on the side You wash it down with the truckstop coffee That burns up your inside It was a canyon, Colorado diner A little waitress I did love Well we sat in the back 'neath the old stuffed bear And a worn out Navajo rug. Well, Old Jack, the boss, he closed at six And it's, 'Katie bar the door'. She'd pull down that Navajo rug And spread it on the floor, Hey, I saw lightning in the sacred mountains Saw the dance of the turtle doves When I was lying next to Katie On that old Navajo rug. Ai-yi-yi, Katie Shades of red and blue Ai-yi-yi, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? Katie Well I saw old Jack about a year ago He said the place burned to the ground And all he'd saved was an old bear tooth, And Katie she left town "Ah but Katie, she got her souvenir too..." Jack spat out a 'bacco plug He said, "You shoulda seen her a-runnin' through the smoke A haulin' that Navajo rug." Ai-yi-yi, Katie Shades of red and blue Ai-yi-yi, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you? Katie 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 Ah but everything keeps a movin' And everybody's on the go Well you don't find things that last anymore Like a double woven Navajo. Ai-yi-yi, Katie Shades of red and blue Ai-yi-yi, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you Katie Shades of red and blue Ai-yi-yi, Katie Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you Katie
