1
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo as I walked out in Laredo one day
2
I saw a young cowboy all dressed in white linen
3
Dressed in white linen as cold as the clay
4
So beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
5
Play the dead march as you carry me along
6
Take me to the green valley they'll lay the sod o'er me
7
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
8
Once in a saddle I used to go dashing once in a saddle I used to go gay
9
First to the courthouse and lay down the roses
10
But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dyin' today
11
Bring sixteen tall cowboys to carry my casket ten pretty women to sing me a song
12
Take me to the green valley they'll lay the sod o'er me
13
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
14
Please beat the drum slowly...
