As [F]
[Bb] [C] [F]
I [C] walked out in the [F] streets of [C]
Laredo, [F] As I [Bb] walked out [F] in Laredo [C] one day,
[F] I spied a [C] young cowboy [F] wrapped up in white [C] linen,
[F] Wrapped up in [Bb] white linen [C] as cold as the [F] clay.
I see by [C] your outfit [F] that you [C] are a cowboy, [F] These words he did [Bb] say as [F] I boldly stepped [C] by.
[F] Come sit down [C] beside me and [F] hear my sad [C]
story, [F] I'm shot [Bb] in the chest and [C] I know I [F] must die.
It was once in [C] the saddle [F] I used to go [C] dashing, It [F] was once in the [Bb] saddle [F] I used to [C] go gazing,
[F] First to the [C] dram house and then to the cart house,
[F] Got shot in [Bb] the chest and [C] I'm dying [F] today.
Oh beat the drum slowly [Bb] and play the pipe lowly, [F] Play the dead march as [G]
you carry me [C] along,
[F] Take me to the green valley, [Bb] there lay the sod or me, I'm a young cowboy.
[Dm] [F] Get six [C] jolly [F] cowboys to carry [A] my coffin, [C] Get [F]
six [Bb] pretty maidens to [F] bear up [C] my paw,
[F] Put bunches [C] of roses [F] all over [C] my coffin, [F] Put roses [Bb] to deaden the [C] sods as they [F] fall.
Then swing your [C] rope slowly [F] and rattle your [C] spurs lowly,
And [F] give a [Bb] wild yell as [F] you carry me [C] along, [F] And in the [C] grave throw me and roll the [E] sod or me,
[F] For I'm a [Bb] young cowboy [F] and I know [A] I've done wrong.
Go bring me [C] some water, [F] a cup of [C] cold water, [Dm] To cool my parched [Bb] lips, the [F] cowboy then [C] said,
Before I return his [F] soul had [C] departed, And gone [Bb] to the roundup the cowpoke was [F] dead.
We beat the drum slowly, [Bb] we play the pipe lowly, [F] We bitterly [G] weep as we carry [C] him along,
[F] We take him to the green valley, [Bb] there lay the sod or him,
[F] Just a young cowboy [C] that's surely [F] done wrong.
