As I walked out
in the streets of Laredo,

As I walked out in Laredo one day,

I spied a young cowboy

all dressed in white linen

G
All dressed in white linen, as cold
D
Play the death march
A
as you carry me along
D
And take me to the green valley
G
There lay the sod o 'er me,
D
For I'm a young cowboy,
A
D
I know I've done wrong.
Go, bring me a cup,
A
yes, a cup of cool water,
D
To cool my parched lips,
A
the poor cowboy said.
D
But before I returned,
A
the spirit had left him
D
Em
And he'd gone to his maker,
A
D
poor cowboy is dead
And beat the drums slowly,
G
play the fife lowly,
D
play the death march
A
as you carry me along.
D
And take me to the green valley,
G
there'll be the sun o 'er me.
D
For I'm a young cowboy,
A

I know I've done right.
