As I went out walking the streets of Laredo
As I went out walking Laredo today
I saw a young cowboy all dressed in white linen
Dressed in white linen as cold as the clay
You take six jolly gamblers and six pretty maidens
Six pretty maidens to sing you a song
Once up to Rosie's (?) and once down to the card house
I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
So bang the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the dead march as they carry me along
Take bunches of roses to lay on my pillow
Roses to soften the ????? as they fall
