As I walked out in the streets of Laredo As I walked out in Laredo one day I spied a young cowboy wrapped up 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 Got shot in the breast and I know I must die Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly Singy the death march as you carry me along Take me to the valley there lay the sod over me I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing It was once in the saddle I used to go gay First to the dram house and then to the card house Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today Go gather around you a group of young cowboys Tell them the story of this my sad fate Tell one and the other before they go further To stop their wild roving before it's too late 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
