| As I walked out in the streets of Laredo |
| As I walked out in Laredo one day |
| I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen |
| Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay |
| I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy |
| These words he did say as I boldly walked by |
| Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story |
| I’m shot in the breast and I know I must die |
| It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing |
| Once in the saddle I used to go gay |
| First down to Rosie’s and then to the card house |
| Got shot in the breast and I’m dying today |
| Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin |
| Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song |
| Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o’er me |
| For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong |
| Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin |
| Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song |
| Take me to the valley and lay the sod o’er me |
| For I’m a young cowboy, I know I’ve done wrong |
| Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly |
| Play the Dead March as they carry me along |
| Put bunches of roses all over my coffin |
| Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall |
| As I walked out in the streets of Laredo |
| As I walked out in Laredo one day |
| I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen |
| Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay |
