《Cowboys Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Cowboy's Lament - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)

[00:00:05] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

[00:00:10] As I walked out in Laredo one day

[00:00:14] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

[00:00:19] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

[00:00:26] I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy

[00:00:31] These words he did say as I boldly walked by

[00:00:36] Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story

[00:00:41] Shot in the breast and I know I must die

[00:00:48] It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing

[00:00:53] Once in the saddle I used to go gay

[00:00:57] First down to Rosie's and then to the card house

[00:01:01] Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today

[00:01:09] Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin

[00:01:14] Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song

[00:01:18] Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod oer me

[00:01:23] For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

[00:01:30] Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin

[00:01:35] Six pretty maidens to sing me a song

[00:01:39] Take me to the valley and lay the sod oer me

[00:01:43] For I'm a young cowboy I know I've done wrong

[00:01:51] Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

[00:01:56] Play the Dead March as they carry me along

[00:02:01] Put bunches of roses all over my coffin

[00:02:06] Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall

[00:02:14] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

[00:02:20] As I walked out in Laredo one day

[00:02:24] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

[00:02:30] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
