=============================================================================== Johnny Cash - Streets of Laredo - =============================================================================== Tabbed by: Aung Intro: B B B BB E B GbAs I walked out on the streets of LaredoB E B GbAs I walked out on Laredo one day,B E B GbI spied a young cowboy, all wrapped in white linenB E B Gb BWrapped up in white linen and cold as the clayI can see by your outfit, that you are a cowboy These words he did say as I bodly walked by Come and 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 to the card-house, and then down to Roses But I got shot in the breast, and I'm dying today Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin Six dead maidens to bear up my pall Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin Roses to deaden the clods as they fall Then beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Play the dead march as you carry me along Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me I'm a young cowboy, and I know I've done wrong Then go write a letter to my gray-haired mother And tell her the cowboy that she loved is gone But please not one word of the man who had killed me Don't mention his name and his name will pass on When thus he had spoken the hot sun was setting The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay We took the young cowboy down to the green valley And there stands his marker we made to this day We beat the drum slowly, played the fife lowly Played the dead march as we carried him along Down to the green valley, laid the sod oe'r him He was young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong.
