The Streets Of Laredo Lyrics

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 Death March as you carry me along Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong Once in the saddle I used to go dashing Once in the saddle I used to go gay First to the cardhouse and then down to Rosy's 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, there lay the sod o'er me For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong Please, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Play the Death March as you carry me along Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me For I'm a young cowboy and I known I've done wrong
