Verse 1
C 
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo,
G 
As I walked out in Laredo one day,
C 
I spied a young cowboy
all wrapped in white linen,
All wrapped in white linen
G 
C 
and cold as the clay.
I can see by your outfit
that you are a cowboy,
these words he did say
G 
as I boldly walked by.
C 
Come sit down beside me
and hear my sad story,
G 
C 
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die.
It was once in my saddle
I used to go dashing,
G 
once in my saddle I used to go gay.
C 
It was first to old Rosie's
and then to the card house,
G 
C 
shot in the breast and I'm dying today.
Get sixteen gamblers to handle my coffin,
get six jolly cowboys
G 
to sing me a song.
C 
Take me to the Green Valley
and lay the sod over me,
I'm a young cowboy
G 
C 
and know I done wrong.
Oh, beat the drum slowly
and play the fife lowly,
play the death march
G 
as you carry me along.
C 
Take me to the green valley
and lay the sod over me,
G 
C 
G 
C 
I'm a young cowboy an d  oh, I done wrong.
