W:"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,"
W:These words he did say as i boldly walked by;
W:"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,
W:I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die.
W:
W:"Oh, once in the saddle I used to go dashing,
W:Once in the saddle I used to go gay;
W:First down to Rosie's and then to the card house;
W:Got whot in the breast and I'm dying today.
W:
W:Get sixteen gamblers to handle my coffin,
W:Let six jolly cowboys come sing me a song,
W:Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me,
W:For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong.
W:
W:Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin,
W:Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song.
W:Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me,
W:For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong.
W:
W:Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly,
W:Play the death march as they carry me along
W:Put bunches of roses all over mycoffin,
W:Roses to deaden the clods as they fall."
W:
W:As As I walked out in the streets of Laredo,
W:As walked out in the Laredo one day,
W:I spied ayoung cowboy all wrapped in white linen,
W:Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.
