Lyrics The Cowboy's Lament - Pete Seeger
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
I
see
by
your
outfit
that
you
are
a
cowboy
These
words
he
did
say
as
I
boldly
walked
by
Come
sit
down
beside
me
and
hear
my
sad
story
I'm
shot
in
the
breast
and
I
know
I
must
die
It
was
once
in
the
saddle
I
used
to
go
dashing
Once
in
the
saddle
I
used
to
go
gay
First
down
to
Rosie's
and
then
to
the
card
house
Got
shot
in
the
breast
and
I'm
dying
today
Get
sixteen
gamblers
to
carry
my
coffin
Get
six
jolly
cowboys
to
sing
me
a
song
Take
me
to
the
graveyard
and
lay
the
sod
o'er
me
For
I'm
a
young
cowboy
and
I
know
I've
done
wrong
Get
six
jolly
cowboys
to
carry
my
coffin
Get
six
pretty
maidens
to
sing
me
a
song
Take
me
to
the
valley
and
lay
the
sod
o'er
me
For
I'm
a
young
cowboy,
I
know
I've
done
wrong
Oh
beat
the
drum
slowly
and
play
the
fife
lowly
Play
the
Dead
March
as
they
carry
me
along
Put
bunches
of
roses
all
over
my
coffin
Put
roses
to
deaden
the
clods
as
they
fall
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
