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 All wrapped in white linen and cold as the clay
I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy These words he did say as I boldly walked by Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
It was once in my saddle I used to go dashin' Once in my saddle I used to go gay It was first to old Rosie's and then to the card house Shot in the breast and I'm dying today
Get sixteen gamblers to handle my coffin Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song Take me to the green valley and lay the sod o'er me I'm a young cowboy and I know I done wrong
Oh, beat the drum slowly, and play the fife lowly Play the death march as you carry me along Take me to the green valley and lay the sod o'er me I'm a young cowboy and I know I done wrongTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
