The Streets of Laredo Full Lyrics
[00:00.26] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
[00:09.37] As I walked out in Laredo one day
[00:14.76] I spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in white linen
[00:22.92] Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay
[00:30.21] I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
[00:40.15] These words he did say as I boldly stepped by
[00:49.24] Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
[00:58.48] I was shot in the breast and I know I must die
[01:08.45] Oh beat the drum slowly and play the pipe lowly
[01:18.49] Play the dead march as you carry me along
[01:26.62] Take me to the green valley there lay the sod o'er me
[01:35.78] For I'm a young cowboy I know I've done wrong
[01:45.73] Oh fetch me a cup a cup of cold water
[01:54.88] To cool my hot lips the poor cowboy said
[02:03.95] Before I returned the spirit had left him
[02:13.03] And gone to its Maker the cowboy was dead
[02:22.18] We beat the drum slowly and play the pipe lowly
[02:32.17] And bitterly wept as we bore him along
[02:40.35] For we all loved our comrade so brave young and handsome
[02:49.56] Well all loved our comrade although he done wrong
[03:01.36]
