As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
C F C G7
As I walked out in Laredo one day
C G7 C G7
I spied a young cowboy, wrapped all in white linen
C F G7 C
Wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay
C G7 C G7
Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
C F C G7
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
C G7 C G7
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
C F G7 C
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
C G7 C G7
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
C F C G7
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
C G7 C G7
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
C F G7 C
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die
C G7 C G7
Go fetch me some water a cool cup of water
C F C G7
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said
C G7 C G7
Before I returned his spirit had left him
C F G7 C
Had gone to his maker the cowboy was dead
C G7 C G7
Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
C F C G7
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
C G7 C G7
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
C F G7 C
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
