Lyrics by: Various sources
Sung by: Tex Ritter
[Intro]
E7 A D E7 A
[Verse 1]
A D A E7
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
A D A E7
As I walked out in Laredo one day
A D A E7
I spied a young cowboy, wrapped up in white linen
A D A E7 A
Wrapped up in white linen, and cold as the clay
[Verse 2]
A D A E7
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
A D A E7
These words he did say as I boldly stepped by
A D A E7
"Come sit down beside me, hear my sad story
A D A E7 A
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die"
[Chorus 1]
A D
Oh, beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly
A D
Play the Dead March as you carry me along
A D
Take me to Green Valley, throw the sod o'er me
A D A E7 A
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
[Interlude]
E7 A D E7 A
[Verse 3]
A D A E7
Twas once in the saddle, I used to go dashing
A D A E7
Twas once in the saddle, I used to go gay
A D A E7
First got to drinkin', then to card-playin'
A D A E7 A
Got shot in the breast and you see where I lay
[Verse 4]
A D A E7
"Go bring me a cup, a cup of cold water
A D A E7
To cool my parched lips with", the cowboy then said
A D A E7
Before I got to him, the spirit had left him
A D A E7
And gone to its maker, the cowboy was dead
[Chorus 2]
A D
We beat the drum slowly, played the fife lowly
A D
And bitterly wept as we pulled him along
A D
For we all loved the comrade, so brave and so handsome
A D A E7 A
We loved our young cowboy although he done wrong
