The Streets Of Laredo - Silver Spurs
As I walked out on the streets of laredo
As I walked out on laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy wrapped in white linen
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
Then beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly
Play the dead march as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
There is another more dear sister
When she heard i'm gone
Don't mention my name and my name will pass on
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
Played the dead march as you carried me along
Take me to the green valley laid the sod over him
I'm a young cowboy and I know I'd done wrong
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
Six dance hall maidens to bear up my pall
Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
Roses to deaden the clods as they fall
Then beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly
Play the dead march as we carry him along
Down in the green valley lay the sod over him
He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong
