CStreets Of Laredo, Marty Robbins, (1911, Frank Maynard)

C As I walked G out in the C streets of G Laredo As C I walked G out in C Laredo one G day I C spied a young G cowboy, all C wrapped in white Glinen All C wrapped in white F linen, as G cold as the C 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 I know I've done wrong

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

Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water To cool my parched 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 I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
