| [00:08.94] | 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. |
