The Streets of Laredo - Don Gibson

Written by：Trad

Beat the drum slowly

And play the fife lowly

For I'm a young cowboy

And I know I've done wrong

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

As I walked out in Laredo one day

I spied a young 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

Got shot in the breast

And I know I must die

Beat the drum slowly

Play the fife lowly

Play the dead march

As you carry me along

Take me to the graveyard

And throw the sod over me

For I'm a young cowboy

And I know I've done wrong

Twas once in the saddle

I used to go dashing

Twas once in the saddle

I used to go gay

First got to drinking

Then two card playing

Got shot in the breast

And I'm dying today

Beat the drum slowly

Play the fife lowly

For I'm a young cowboy

And I know I've done wrong
