[F] [Bb]
[F] [C] [F]
As I [C] walked out in [F] the streets of [C] Laredo, [F] As I [Bb] walked out in [F]
Laredo one [C] day,
[Cm] [F] I spied a [C] young cowboy [F] wrapped all in [C] white linen, [F]
Wrapped in [Bb] white linen [C] as cold [Cm] as [F] the clay.
Oh, beep the [C] drum slowly [F] and play the [Gm] pipe lowly, [F] Sing the death [Bb] march as [F] you carry me [C]
along,
[F] Take me [Gm] to the valley [F] there lay the [C] sod or me, [F] I'm a young [Bb]
cowboy [C] and know [F] I've done wrong.
I see by [C] your outfit [F] that you [C] are a cowboy, [F] These words he [Bb] did say as [F] I [C] boldly walked by,
[F] Come sit down [C] beside me [F] and hear my [C] sad [Cm] story, [C] [F] Got shot in [Bb] the breast and [C] I know [F] I must die.
Go fetch me [C] some water, [F] a cool cup [C] of water, [F] To cool my [Bb] parts lips then [F] the poor cowboy [C] said,
[F] Before I [C]
returned [F] his spirit [C] had left him, [F] Had gone to [Bb] his maker, [C] the cowboy [F] was dead.
Oh, beep the [C] drum slowly and [F] play the [C] pipe lowly, [F]
Sing the [Bb] death march as [F] you carry me [C] along,
[F] Take me [C] to the valley [F] there lay the sod or [C] me, [F]
I'm a [Bb] young cowboy [Cm]
and know I've done wrong.
