Artist/Band: Tom Russell
Lyrics for Song: Navajo Rug
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Tom Russell



Well it's two eggs up on whiskey toast

And home fries on the side

Wash it down with the road house coffee

Burns up your insides

Just 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



Well Old Jack, the boss, he left at six

And it's Katie bar the door

She'd pull down that Navajo rug

And she'd spread it across the floor

Hey, I saw lightning cross the sacred mountains

Saw woven turtle doves

I was sittin' next to Katie

On that old Navajo rug



[Chorus]

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 old Jack about a year ago

He said the place burned to the ground

And all I saved was this old bear tooth

And Katie, she's left town

Oh, but Katie, she got her souvenir too

Jack spat a tobacco plug

Well you should have seen her a-coming through the smoke

Draggin' that Navajo rug



[Chorus]



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

Yeah, everybody's on the go

You don't find things that last anymore

Like an old woven Navajo



[Chorus: x2]
