As I walked out on the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
Wrapped up in white linen, as cold as the clay
So beat the drum slowly, play the five lowly
Play the death march as they carry me on
Take me to the green valley, lay the sod over me
I'm shot in the chest, and I'm dying today
ย
Let 16 gamblers carry my coffin
Let 16 cowboys sing me a song
Take me the green valley, and lay the sod over me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
So beat the drum slowly, play the five lowly
Play the death march as they carry me on
Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me
I'm shot in the chest, and I'm dying today
