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
