As I walked out
D
A
in the streets of Laredo,
D
G
E
A
As I walked out in Laredo one day,
D
A
I spied a young cowboy
D
A
wrapped up in white linen
D
G
Wrapped up in white linen
E
A
D
as cold as the clay
A
D
I see by your outfit that you
D
G
These words he did say
E
A
as I boldly stepped by.
D
A
Come sit down beside me
D
A
and hear my sad story
D
G
I was shot in the breast
E
A
D
and I know I must die
D
A
and play the fife lowly
D
G
Play the dead march as you
E
A
carry me along
D
A
Take me through the green valley,
D
A
there lay the sod or me
D
G
For I'm a young cowboy
E
A
D
and I know I've done wrong.
A
D
A
Fetch me a cup, a cup of cold water
D
G
To cool my parched lips,
A
D
A
Before I re turned,
D
A
the spirit had left him
D
G
And gone to its maker,
E
A
D
the cowboy was dead
D
A
and played the fife lowly
D
G
E
A
And bitterly wept as we bore him along
D
A
For we all love the cowboy,
D
A
So brave, young and handsome,
D
G
We all love the cowboy,
E
A
Although he done wrong.
