As I walked out on the streets of Laredo, |
| [00:16.54] |
As I walked out in Laredo one day, |
| [00:24.28] |
I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen, |
| [00:32.60] |
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay. |
| [00:41.78][01:16.78][01:49.06][02:18.94][02:50.17] |
|
| [00:46.57] |
"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy." |
| [00:54.28] |
These words he did say as I boldly walked by. |
| [01:01.44] |
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story; |
| [01:09.20] |
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die!" |
| [01:18.22] |
"Oh beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly; |
| [01:26.01] |
And play the Death March as you carry me along. |
| [01:33.10] |
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me, |
| [01:40.96] |
I'm a young cowboy and know I′ve done wrong." |
| [01:49.63] |
"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing: |
| [01:57.05] |
It was once in the saddle I used to go gay. |
| [02:04.82] |
First to the dram house and then to the card house, |
| [02:12.22] |
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today." |
| [02:21.02] |
"Go gather around you a group of young cowboys, |
| [02:28.41] |
And tell them the story of this my sad fate. |
| [02:35.57] |
Tell one and the other before they go further, |
| [02:43.22] |
To stop their wild roving before it's too late." |
| [02:51.96] |
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly, |
| [02:59.76] |
And bitterly wept as we bore him along. |
| [03:06.96] |
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome, |
| [03:14.79] |
We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong. |
