[Intro]
E7 A D E7 A
[Verse 1]
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy, wrapped up in white linen
Wrapped up in white linen, and cold as the clay
[Verse 2]
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I boldly stepped by
"Come sit down beside me, hear my sad story
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die"
[Chorus 1]
Oh, beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly
A D
Play the Dead March as you carry me along
Take me to Green Valley, throw the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Interlude]
E7 A D E7 A
[Verse 3]
Twas once in the saddle, I used to go dashing
Twas once in the saddle, I used to go gay
A D A E7
First got to drinkin', then to card-playin'
Got shot in the breast and you see where I lay
[Verse 4]
"Go bring me a cup, a cup of cold water
To cool my parched lips with", the cowboy then said
Before I got to him, the spirit had left him
And gone to its maker, the cowboy was dead
[Chorus 2]
We beat the drum slowly, played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we pulled him along
For we all loved the comrade, so brave and so handsome
We loved our young cowboy although he done wrong
