The Cowboy's Lament (Streets Of Laredo) - Burl Ives[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional/Ives[00:00:07]

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo[00:00:15]

As I walked out in Laredo one day[00:00:20]

I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen[00:00:24]

Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay[00:00:29]

I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy[00:00:36]

These words he did say as I boldly walked by[00:00:41]

Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story[00:00:45]

I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die[00:00:49]

It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing[00:00:56]

Once in the saddle I used to go gay[00:01:01]

First down to rosie's and then to the card house[00:01:05]

Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today[00:01:09]

Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin[00:01:17]

Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song[00:01:21]

Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me[00:01:25]

For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong[00:01:30]

Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly[00:01:37]

Play the dead march as they carry me along[00:01:42]

Put bunches of roses all over my coffin[00:01:47]

Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall[00:01:52]

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo[00:02:00]

As I walked out in Laredo one day[00:02:06]

I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen[00:02:10]

Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay[00:02:15]
