Generate meaning
1
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
2
As I walked out in Laredo one day
3
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
4
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
5
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
6
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
7
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
8
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
9
It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
10
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
11
First down to Rosie's and then to the card house
12
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today
13
Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin
14
Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song
15
Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me
16
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
17
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
18
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
19
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me
20
For I'm a young cowboy, I know I've done wrong
21
Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
22
Play the Dead March as they carry me along
23
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
24
Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall
25
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
26
As I walked out in Laredo one day
27
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
28
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
