[00:00.00]Streets Of Laredo (Cowboy's Lament) - Shindig Society
[00:08.41]As I walked out on the streets of Laredo
[00:15.11]As I walked out on Laredo one day
[00:21.18]I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen
[00:28.40]Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
[00:36.08]"Then beat the drum slowly play the Fife lowly
[00:42.78]"Play the dead march as you carry me along
[00:48.84]"Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me
[00:56.05]"I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong "
[01:03.80]"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
[01:10.29]These words he did say as I boldly stepped by
[01:16.95]"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
[01:23.45]I was shot in the breast and I know I must die "
[01:31.35]"Go bring me a cup a cup of cold water
[01:37.97]To cool my parched lips " the cowboy said;
[01:44.09]Before I turned the spirit had left him
[01:50.96]And gone to its Giver --- the cowboy was dead
[01:59.46]We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
[02:05.84]Play the Dead March as you carry me along
[02:11.86]Take me to the green valley and lay the sod o'er me
[02:18.87]For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong "
