(Mancos Kind of) Saturday Night
Well I’m a-headin’ up the valley
Gonna see my little Sally
And I ain’t a-comin’ home tonight
I’ll be fillin’ up a jug
And cuttin’ up a couple rugs
Because my girl knows how to do it right
Hell and gone tomorrow
Got some money I can borrow
I’ll be looking quite a sorry sight
And every penny that I got
Is goin’ straight into the pot
‘Cause it’s a Mancos kind of Saturday night
CHORUS
Meet me out tonight in Mancos
Moonshine, columbine, and a couple pairs of dancin’ shoes
Meet me out tonight in Mancos
It’s the only game in town and you can’t lose
Now Uncle Randy’s up on Grand
He ain’t a complicated man
But he knows how to get himself in deep
He’s got twenty thousand down
On a new place right outta town
But there’s some promises that he can’t keep
When that whiskey starts a-flowin’
Ain’t no place that he’ll be goin’
But the bottom of a fifth of white
So don’t you deal another hand
Unless you’re looking for some land
‘Cause it’s a Mancos kind of Saturday night
Five piece, Sally leadin’
I got my hands full just keepin’
Up with Turkey in the Straw
Randy’s looking too unstable
To be leaping on the tables
No one said it was against the law
In the morning with a warning
From the Sheriff and my clothes
A little torn I’ll find my way upright
Say it was in the name of love
And then I’ll head back to recover
From a Mancos kind of Saturday night
