buck ramsey - cowboy's lament (streets of laredo) lyrics
as i rode out in the streets of laredo
as i walked out in laredo one day
i spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
wrapped up in white linen and cold as clay
“i see by your outfit that you are a cowboy”
these words he spoke as i proudly stepped by
“come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
i’m a young cowboy and i know i must die”
“oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
play the death march as you carry me along
plant me on the wide prairie and lay the sod o’er me
i’m a young cowboy and i know i’d done wrong”
“it was once in thе saddle, i used to go dashing
once in thе saddle, i used to go g+y
first to the dram house and then to the card house
got shot in the breast and i’m dyin’ today”
“hire six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin
hire six pretty maidens to sing ‘carry my pa’
put bunches of roses all over my coffin
to deadin’ the sound of the clogs as they fall”
oh, we beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
bitterly wept as we carried him along
for we all loved our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome
we all loved our comrade although he’d done wrong
