[Verse 1]
   C        G7          C           G7
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
   C        F        C        G7
As I walked out in Laredo one day
  C             G7              C            G7
I spied a young cowboy, wrapped all in white linen
C                F         G7          C
Wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay

[Verse 2]
    C             G7         C             G7
Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
C              F            C         G7   
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
     C         G7            C           G7   
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
C           F          G7             C
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong

[Verse 3]
  C           G7          C         G7
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
      C            F        C             G7
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
     C          G7          C           G7
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
    C           F            G7          C
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die

[Verse 4]
   C             G7      C           G7
Go fetch me some water a cool cup of water
   C               F             C           G7   
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said
  C        G7         C          G7
Before I returned his spirit had left him
    C           F         G7         C
Had gone to his maker the cowboy was dead

[Verse 5]
     C            G7         C             G7
Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
C              F            C         G7   
Sing the Death March as you carry me along
     C         G7            C           G7
Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o'er me
C           F          G7             C
I'm a young cowboy and know I've done wrong
