Streets Of Laredo Lyrics by Buck Owens
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
As I walked out on the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen
Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay.

Beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly
play the death march as they carry me on
Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me
I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today.

--- Instrumental ---

Beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly
play the death march as they carry me on
Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me
I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today...
As I walked out on the streets of Laredo    As I walked out in Laredo one day   I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen   Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay.      Beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly    play the death march as they carry me on   Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me   I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today.      --- Instrumental ---      Beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly    play the death march as they carry me on   Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me   I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today...
