Lyrics
get six pretty maidens to bear up my
We take him to the green valley there lay the sod o er him, got shot in the chest and i m dying today.
For i m a young cowboy and i know i ve done wrong, i see by your outfit that you are a cowboy.
As i walked out in laredo one day, wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay of, then swing your ropes slowly and rattle your spurs lowly
Before i returned his soul had departed and gone to the roundup, go bring me some water
then swing your ropes slowly and rattle your spurs lowly
Then swing your ropes slowly and rattle your spurs lowly, i m shot in the chest and i know i must die, as i walked out in laredo one day
And give a wild yell as you carry me along, for i m a young cowboy and i know i ve done wrong, we beat the drum slowly
These words he did say as i boldly stepped by, we beat the drum slowly
The cowboy then said, as i walked out in the streets of laredo
As i walked out in laredo one day, put roses to deaden the clods as they, get six pretty maidens to bear up my
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy., get six pretty maidens to bear up my
Put roses to deaden the clods as they, i m shot in the chest and i know i must die
As i walked out in the streets of laredo, to cool my parched lips.
As i walked out in the streets of laredo, then swing your ropes slowly and rattle your spurs lowly
take me to the green valley there lay the sod o er me
put roses to deaden the clods as they
a cup of cold water
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin, get six pretty maidens to bear up my
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen, as i walked out in the streets of laredo Streets, to cool my parched lips.
Play the death march as you carry me along, get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Take me to the green valley there lay the sod o er me, before i returned his soul had departed and gone to the roundup
I m shot in the chest and i know i must die, to cool my parched lips. of, first to the dramhouse and then to the cardhouse
As i walked out in laredo one day, take me to the green valley there lay the sod o er me
To cool my parched lips., to cool my parched lips., go bring me some water
put bunches of roses all over my coffin
to cool my parched lips.
got shot in the chest and i m dying today.
The cowboy then said, the cowboy then said, as i walked out in the streets of laredo
