Eddy Arnold - The Streets Of Laredo Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
  • As I walked out in Laredo one day
  • I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen
  • Wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay.
  • I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
  • These words he did say as I boldly stepped by
  • Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
  • I was shot in the breast and I know I must die.
  • Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the pipe lowly
  • Play the dead march as you carry me along
  • Take me to the green valley there lay the sod o'er me
  • For I'm a young cowboy I know I've done wrong.
  • Oh, fetch me a cup, a cup of cold water
  • To cool my hot lips the poor cowboy said
  • Before I returned the spirit had left him
  • And gone to its Maker the cowboy was dead.
  • We beat the drum slowly and play the pipe lowly
  • And bitterly wept as we bore him along
  • For we all loved our comrade so brave young and handsome
  • We all loved our comrade although he done wrong...
