Streets Of Laredo Lyrics - Buck Owens

As I, walked 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 in white linen as cold as the clay. 

So, beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly 

Play the death march as they carry me on 

Take me to green valley, lay the sod o'er, 

I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today 

Let sixteen gamblers carry my coffin 

Let sixteen cowbows sing me a song 

Take me to green valley, lay the sod o'er, 

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