The Streets of Laredo
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I saw a young cowboy, all dressed in white linen
Dressed in white linen, as cold as the clay
So, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod over me
For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong
Once in the saddle I used to go dashing
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the cardhouse and then down to Rosy’s
But I’m shot in the breast and I’m dyin' today
Bring sixteen tall cowboys to carry my casket
Ten pretty women to sing me a song
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod over me
For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong
Please, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod over me
For I’m a young cowboy and I known I’ve done wrong
