Navajo Rug
Ian Tyson and Tom Russell

               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 Nauajo 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 eueryone'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!
