Verse 1
C
As I walked out
Ab
C
in the streets of Laredo,
G
As I walked out in Laredo one day,
C
I spied a young cowboy
G
wrapped in white linen,
C
G
C
wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.
G
I see by your outfit that
C
you are a cowboy,
G
C
these words he did say
G
as I boldly walk by.
C
G
Come sit down beside me,
C
hear my sad story,
Shot in the breast,
G
C
G
C
and I know I must die.
G
It was once in the saddle I
C
used to go dashing,
G
Once in the saddle I used to go gay.

Shot in the breast, I'm dyin' today
G
Get six jolly cowboys
C
to carry my coffin
G
Six birdie maidens to carry my paw
C
G
Ab
Put bunches of roses all
C
over my coffin,
G
C
G
C
Roses to deaden the clots as they fall.
G
Oh, beat the drum slowly,
C
play the fife lowly,
G
Play the dead march
C
G
as you carry me along.
C
Take me to the valley,
lay the sod o 'er me,
I'm a young cowboy,
G
C
and oh, I've done wrong.
