The Streets of Laredo (The Original Lyrics)
Verse 1: As I walked out in the streets of Laredo, As I walked out in Laredo one day, I spied a dear cowboy wrapped up in white linen, Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay.

Verse 2: "I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy," These words he did say as I boldly stepped by. "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story, I’m shot in the breast and I know I must die."

Verse 3: "It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing, It was once in the saddle I used to go gay. First to the dram-house and then to the card-house, Got shot in the breast and I am dying today."

Verse 4: "Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin, Get six pretty maidens to bear up my pall. Put bunches of roses all over my coffin, Put roses to deaden the sods as they fall."

Chorus/Outro: "Then beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly, And play the dead march as you carry me along; Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me, For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong."
