| [01.50.000.] | 'Play the dead march as you carry me along.“ |
| [00:11.000] | As I walked out on the streets of Laredo. |
| [00:16.000] | As I walked out on Laredo one day, |
| [00:22.000] | I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen, |
| [00:26.000]] | Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay. |
| [00:34.000] | 'I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy.'’ “ |
| [00:40.000] | These words he did say as I boldly walked by. |
| [00:45.000] | 'Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story.“ |
| [00:51.000] | 'I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die.'“ |
| [01:00.000] | 'It was once in the saddle, I used to go dashing.“ |
| [01:07.000] | 'Once in the saddle, I used to go gay.“ |
| [01:02.000] | 'First to the card-house and then down to Rose's.“ |
| [01:17.000] | 'But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today.'“ |
| [01:24.000] | 'Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin.“ |
| [01:30.000] | 'Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall.“ |
| [01:35.000] | 'Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin.“ |
| [01:40.000] | 'Roses to deaden the clods as they fall.'“ |
| [01:47.000] | 'Then beat the drum slowly, play the Fife lowly.“ |
| [01:58.000] | 'Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me,“ |
| [02:04.000] | 'I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong.'“ |
| [02:13.000] | 'Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother,“ |
| [02:18.000] | 'An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone.“ |
| [02:24.000] | 'But please not one word of the man who had killed me.“ |
| [02:29.000] | 'Don't mention his name and his name will pass on.“ |
| [02:38.000] | When thus he had spoken, the hot sun was setting. |
| [02:44.000] | The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay. |
| [02:49.000] | We took the young cowboy down to the green valley, |
| [02:55.000] | And there stands his marker, we made, to this day. |
| [03:01.000] | We beat the drum slowly and played the Fife lowly, |
| [03:04.000] | Played the dead march as we carried him along. |
| [03:11.000] | Down in the green valley, laid the sod o'er him. |
| [03:17.000] | He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong. |
| [01.50.000.] | ' Play the dead march as you carry me along." |
