C<\/span>\u200bStreets Of Laredo<\/span>, <\/span>Marty Robbins<\/span>, (1911, Frank Maynard)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

C<\/span> As I walked <\/span>G<\/span> out in the <\/span>C<\/span> streets of <\/span>G<\/span> Laredo<\/span>
\n<\/span>As <\/span>C<\/span> I walked <\/span>G<\/span> out in <\/span>C<\/span> Laredo one <\/span>G<\/span> day<\/span>
\n<\/span>I <\/span>C<\/span> spied<\/span> a young <\/span>G<\/span> cowboy, <\/span>all <\/span>C<\/span> wrapped in white <\/span>G<\/span>linen<\/span>
\n<\/span>All <\/span>C<\/span> w<\/span>rapped in white <\/span>F<\/span> linen, as <\/span>G<\/span> cold as the <\/span>C<\/span> clay<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly<\/span>
\n<\/span>Sing the Death March as you carry me along<\/span>
\n<\/span>Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o’er me<\/span>
\n<\/span>I’m a young cowboy<\/span> and<\/span> I know I’ve done <\/span>wrong<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy<\/span>
\n<\/span>These words he did say as I <\/span>slow<\/span>ly walked by<\/span>
\n<\/span>Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story<\/span>
\n<\/span>Got shot in the breast and I know I must <\/span>die<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go fetch me some water, a cool cup of water<\/span>
\n<\/span>To cool my parched lips, then the poor cowboy said<\/span>
\n<\/span>Before I returned, his spirit had left him<\/span>
\n<\/span>Had gone to his Maker, the cowboy was <\/span>dead<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly<\/span>
\n<\/span>Sing the Death March as you carry me along<\/span>
\n<\/span>Take me to the valley, there lay the sod o’er me<\/span>
\n<\/span>I’m a young cowboy<\/span> and <\/span>I know I’ve done wrong<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
