As I walked out in the streets of Laredo As I walked out in Laredo one day I spied a young cowboy, all wrapped 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 speak as I slowly walked by Come sit here beside me and hear my sad story For I'm a young cowboy and know I must die So, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Sing the Death March as you carry me along Take me to the 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 six tall young cowboys to carry my casket, Six pretty maids for to sing me a song Take me to green valleys, there lay the sod o'er me For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong Fetch me some water, a cool cup of water To cool my parched lips, then the poor cowboy said Before I returned, his spirit had left him Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead. So, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Play the Death March as you carry me along Take me to green valleys, there lay the sod o'er me For I'm a young cowboy and I known I've done wrong
