Navajo Rug (Live) - Ian Tyson
Two eggs up on whiskey toast
Home fries on the side
Wash it down with the road house coffee
And burns up your insides
Just a Canyon Colorado Diner
A waitress I did love
I sat in the back neath an old bear
And a worn out Navajo rug
Old Jack the boss who at six
And it's Katie bar the door
She'd pull down that Navajo rug
Spread it across the floor
I saw lightning
Cross the sacred mountains
Saw woven turtle doves
I am next to Katie
Navajo Navajo rug
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 Jack about a year ago
He said the place burned to the ground
All I saved was this old bear tooth
Katie she's left town
Katie
She got her souvenir too
Jack spat a tobacco plug
You should have seen her
A coming through the smoke
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
Every time I cross the sacred mountains
Lightning breaks above
It always takes me back in time
To my long lost Katie love
But everything keeps on move
Everybody's on the go
You don't find things that last anymore
Like an old woven Navajo rug
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
Aye aye aye Katie
Whatever became of the Navajo rug and you
Katie shades of red and blue
Aye aye aye Katie
