Lyrics

• As I Walked Out On The Streets Of Laredo.

• As I Walked Out On Laredo One Day,

• I Spied A Poor Cowboy Wrapped In White Linen,

• Wrapped In White Linen As Cold As The Clay.

• I Can See By Your Outfit That You Are A Cowboy

• These Words He Did Say As I Boldly Walked By.

• Come An' Sit Down Beside Me An' Hear My Sad Story.

• I'm Shot In The Breast An' 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 To The Card-house And Then Down To Rose's.

• But I'm Shot In The Breast And I'm Dying Today.

• Get Six Jolly Cowboys To Carry My Coffin.

• Six Dance-hall Maidens To Bear Up My Pall.

• Throw Bunches Of Roses All Over My Coffin.

• Roses To Deaden The Clods As They Fall.

• Then Beat The Drum Slowly, Play The Fife Lowly.

• Play The Dead March As You Carry Me Along.

• Take Me To The Green Valley, Lay The Sod O'er Me,

• I'm A Young Cowboy And I Know I'Ve Done Wrong.

• Then Go Write A Letter To My Grey-haired Mother,

• An' Tell Her The Cowboy That She Loved Has Gone.

• But Please Not One Word Of The Man Who Had Killed Me.

• Don't Mention His Name And His Name Will Pass On.

• When Thus He Had Spoken, The Hot Sun Was Setting.

• The Streets Of Laredo Grew Cold As The Clay.

• We Took The Young Cowboy Down To The Green Valley,

• And There Stands His Marker, We Made, To This Day.

• We Beat The Drum Slowly And Played The Fife Lowly,

• Played The Dead March As We Carried Him Along.

• Down In The Green Valley, Laid The Sod O'er Him.

• He Was A Young Cowboy And He Said He'd Done Wrong.
