Streets Of Laredo - Billy Williams/Johnny Mac/Leon Copas/Joe Reagan
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 say as a police stepped by
Come side down beside me and hear my sad story
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
Oh beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly
Play the dead march as you carry me along
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
I was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First started to drinking then started to complaining
Got shot in the breast
And you see will I lie
Go bring me a cup of cup of cold water
To cool my parched lips then the cowboy said
But when I return his spirit had left him
Had gone to his Maker the cowboy was dead
We beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Bitterly weep as we put him along
For we all loved our comrade so brave and so handsome
We loved our young cow boy although he'd done wrong
