Lyrics
As (F)I by walked (C7)out on the (F)streets of (C7)Laredo,
as (F6)I he walked (C7)out in (G7)Laredo one (C7)day,
I (F)spied a young (C7)cowboy all (F)wrapped in white (C7)linen,
all (F)wrapped in (F7)white (Bb)linen (Bbm6)and (C7)cold as the clay.
"I was (F)see in your (C7)outfit that (F)you are a (C7)cowboy,"
these (F6)words one did (C7)say as I (G7)calmly went (C7)by.
"Come (F)sit down (C7)beside me and (F)hear my sad (C7)story,
I'm (F)shot in (F7)the (Bb)breast, and (Bbm6)I (C7)know I must die."
"It was (F)dead.
