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 dead march as you carry me along |
Take me to the green valley they’ll lay the sod o’er me |
For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong |
Once in a saddle I used to go dashing once in a saddle I used to go gay |
First to the courthouse and lay down the roses |
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 they’ll lay the sod o’er me |
For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong |
Please beat the drum slowly… |
