Cowboy's Lament

[00:04.11] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
[00:09.59] As I walked out in Laredo one day
[00:13.71] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
[00:18.83] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
[00:26.27] I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
[00:30.96] These words he did say as I boldly walked by
[00:35.02] Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
[00:40.03] I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
[00:47.18] It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
[00:52.29] Once in the saddle I used to go gay
[00:56.31] First down to Rosie's and then to the card house
[01:01.14] Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today
[01:08.76] Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin
[01:13.17] Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song
[01:17.40] Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me
[01:22.02] For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
[01:29.29] Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
[01:34.09] Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
[01:37.86] Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me
[01:42.64] For I'm a young cowboy, and know I've done wrong
[01:50.14] Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
[01:55.64] Play the Dead March as they carry me along
[02:00.07] Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
[02:05.05] Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall
[02:13.30] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
[02:18.69] As I walked out in Laredo one day
[02:23.04] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
[02:28.47] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
[02:34.11]
