lyrics
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
Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Sing the death march as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said
Well before I returned, his spirit had left him
Had gone to h is maker, that cowboy was dead
Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Sing the death march as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
Yes, I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
