As I walked out in
the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in
Laredo one day
I spied a poor cowboy
wrapped up in white linen
wrapped up 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 stepped by
Come sit down beside me
and hear my sad story
I was shot in the breast
and I know I must die
Oh beat the drum slowly
And play the fife lowly
Play the dead march
as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley
There lay the sod over me
For I`m a young cowboy
I know I`ve done wrong
Go fetch me a cup
A cup of cold water
To cool my parched lips
The poor cowboy said
Before I returned
The spirit had left him
And gone to its maker
The cowboy was dead
We beat the drum slowly
And played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept
as we bore him along
For we all loved our comrade
So brave young and handsome
We all loved our comrade
Although he`d done wrong
