[Verse 1]
F C F C
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
F Bb F C
As I walked out in Laredo one day
F C
I spied a young cowboy,
F C
wrapped all in white linen
F Bb
Wrapped in white linen,
C7 F
as cold as the clay
[Chorus]
Oh,
F C F C
beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
F Bb F C
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
F C
Take me to the valley,
F C
there lay the sod o'er me
F Bb C7 F
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
[Verse 2]
F C F C
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
F Bb F C
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
F C F C
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
F Bb C7 F
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die
[Verse 3]
F C
Go fetch me some water,
F C
a cool cup of water
F Bb F C
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said
F C
Before I returned,
F C
his spirit had left him
F Bb
Had gone to his maker,
C7 F
the cowboy was dead
[Chorus]
Oh,
F C F C
beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
F Bb F C
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
F C
Take me to the valley,
F C
there lay the sod o'er me
F Bb C7 F
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
