[C]
As I [G] was walking the streets of [Bm] Laredo, [Em] As I walked out in [C] Laredo [G] one day,
[C] I [Gm] spied a young cowboy [C] all wrapped in [G] white linen,
[C] Wrapped in white linen [E] as cold as [C] the clay.
[G] Then the cowboy speaks.
Try [C] a different song.
Yeah, I don't like that song.
[G]
No, the cowboy speaks.
I don't want to hear the [C] cowboy speak.
[G] [C] I seen by [G] his outfit [C] that he was [G] a cowboy, And as I walked near him these words he did
sigh, Come [C] sit [G] down beside me [C] and hear my [G] sad story.
[C] Shot in the breast [G] and I know I was [C] dying.
That song stinks.
It's a [G] Cornwall song.
Hey, I think it's letting up.
[C] Well, let him [G] sing.
Yeah, it [C] sounds good.
[G] Yeah, the cowboy tells a sad story.
[C] As once [G] in a saddle I used to go dashing, [C] Once in [G] a saddle [C] I used [G] to go gay,
[C] First [G] down to Rosie's and then to the cart house,
Shot in [Cm] the breast and [G] I'm dying [C] today.
[G] [C] Get sixteen [G] gamblers [C] to carry [G] my coffin, [C] Get six [G] pretty maidens [C] to sing me [G] a song,
[C] Take [G] me to the valley [C] and lay the sod [G] o'er me,
[C] I'm just a young cowboy and I [G] know I done [C]
wrong.
[G] Come on boys, why don't you join in a little like they do, you know?
[C] I'll bang the [G] drums slowly [C] and play the five-a-long,
Play the [G] dead march as [C] they carry me [G] along,
[C] Put bunches [G] of roses all over my coffin, Roses too [Bb] dead in [Gm] the clubs as they [C] fall.
