Faron Young - Streets Of Laredo Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Beat the drum slowly
  • And play the fife lowly
  • I'm a young cowboy
  • And I know I've done wrong.
  • As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
  • As I walked out in Laredo one day
  • I spied a young cowboy wrapped in white linen
  • Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay.
  • 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 and hear my sad story
  • Got shot in the breast and I know I must die.
  • Beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
  • Play the dead march as they carry me away
  • Take me to the green valley there lay the sod o'er me
  • For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong.
  • Twas once in the saddle I used to go dashing
  • Twas once in the saddle I used to go gay
  • First came the drinking and then the card playing
  • Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today.
  • Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin
  • Get six pretty maidens to bear up my part
  • Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
  • Roses to deaden the sod as it falls.
  • Beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
  • Play the dead march as they carry me away
  • Take me to the green valley there lay the sod o'er me
  • For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong...
