Streets Of Laredo

Streets Of Laredo - Studio Group/Johnny Mac/Leon Copas/Joe Reagan

As I walked out in the streets of laredo

As I walked out in laredo one day

I spied a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen

Wrapped up in white linen and cold as the clay

O beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

Play the dead march as you carry me along

Take me to the green valley and lay the sod over me

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

We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly

And bitterly wept as we bore him along

For awe all loved our comrade

So brave young and handsome

We all loved our comrade although he'd done wrong
