《Streets Of Laredo(Album Version)》歌词

时长： 03:33

As I walked out on the streets of Laredo [00:00:11]

As I walked out on Laredo one day [00:00:16]

I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen [00:00:22]

Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay [00:00:28]

"I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy "[00:00:33]

These words he did say as I boldly walked by [00:00:40]

"Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story [00:00:46]

"I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die "[00:00:51]

"It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing [00:01:01]

"Once in the saddle I used to go gay [00:01:07]

"First to the card-house and then down to Rose's [00:01:12]

"But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today "[00:01:17]

"Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin [00:01:24]

"Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall [00:01:29]

"Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin [00:01:35]

"Roses to deaden the clods as they fall "[00:01:40]

"Then beat the drum slowly play the Fife lowly [00:01:47]

"Play the dead march as you carry me along [00:01:53]

"Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me [00:01:58]

"I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong "[00:02:04]

"Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother [00:02:13]

"An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone [00:02:18]

"But please not one word of the man who had killed me [00:02:24]

"Don't mention his name and his name will pass on "[00:02:29]

When thus he had spoken the hot sun was setting [00:02:39]

The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay [00:02:44]

We took the young cowboy down to the green valley [00:02:49]

And there stands his marker we made to this day [00:02:55]

We beat the drum slowly and played the Fife lowly [00:03:01]

Played the dead march as we carried him along [00:03:07]

Down in the green valley laid the sod o'er him [00:03:12]

He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong[00:03:17]
