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 in white linen, as cold as the clay

Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong

I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
Got shot in the breast and know I must die

Go Fetch me some water, a cool cup of water
To cool my partched lips then the poor cowboy said
Before I returned, his spirit had left him
Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was dead

Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
sing the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I known I've done wrong
