[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
