| [00:08.57] |
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo |
| [00:16.58] |
As I walked out in Laredo one day |
| [00:23.89] |
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen |
| [00:32.20] |
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay |
| [00:46.20] |
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy |
| [00:53.82] |
These words he did say as I boldly walked by |
| [01:00.93] |
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story |
| [01:08.37] |
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die |
| [01:17.68] |
Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly |
| [01:25.54] |
Singy the death march as you carry me along |
| [01:32.37] |
Take me to the valley there lay the sod over me |
| [01:40.62] |
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong |
| [01:49.43] |
It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing |
| [01:56.87] |
It was once in the saddle I used to go gay |
| [02:03.93] |
First to the dram house and then to the card house |
| [02:11.81] |
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today |
| [02:20.62] |
Go gather around you a group of young cowboys |
| [02:28.25] |
Tell them the story of this my sad fate |
| [02:35.00] |
Tell one and the other before they go further |
| [02:42.56] |
To stop their wild roving before it's too late |
| [02:51.68] |
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly |
| [02:59.25] |
And bitterly wept as we bore him along |
| [03:06.50] |
For we all loved our comrade so brave young and handsome |
| [03:14.31] |
We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong |
