Cowboy Medley: I Ride an Old Paint / The Streets of Laredo (Live at Sportovní hala, Prague, Czech Republic - April 1978) - Johnny Cash

I ride an old paint and I lead old Dan

I'm goin' to Montana for to throw the hoolihan

They feed in the goat they water in the draw

Their tails are all matted their backs are all raw

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and rarin' to go

Little Jones had a daughter and a son

His son went to Denver but his daughter went wrong

His wife got killed in a bloody knife fight

Still he keeps singin' from mornin' till night

Ride around little dogies ride around them slow

They're fiery and snuffy and rarin' to go

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

As I walked out in Laredo one day

I spied a young cowboy wrapped all in white linen

Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy

These words he did say as I boldly walked by

Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story

Got shot in the breast and know I must die

Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

Sing the dead march as you carry me along

Take me to the valley then lay the sod o'er me

I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong

Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

Sing the dead march as you carry me along

Take me to the valley then lay the sod o'er me

I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
