F C7 F C7
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
F Bb F C7
As I walked out in Laredo one day
F C7 F C7
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
F Bb C7 F
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay


F C7 F C7
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
F Bb F C7
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
F C7 F C7
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
F Bb C7 F
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die


F C7 F C7
It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
F Bb F C7
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
F C7 F C7
First down to Rosie's and then to the card house
F Bb C7 F
Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today


F C7 F C7
Get sixteen gamblers to handle my coffin
F Bb F C7
Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song
F C7 F C7
Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me
F Bb C7 F
For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong


F C7 F C7
Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
F Bb F C7
Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song
F C7 F C7
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me
F Bb C7 F
For I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong


F C7 F C7
Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
F Bb F C7
Play the Dead March as they carry me along
F C7 F C7
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
F Bb C7 F
Roses to deaden the clods as they fall


F C7 F C7
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
F Bb F C7
As I walked out in Laredo one day
F C7 F C7
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
F Bb C7 F
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
