《Streets Of Laredo(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:11] As I walked out on the streets of Laredo

[00:00:16] As I walked out on Laredo one day

[00:00:22] I spied a poor cowboy wrapped in white linen

[00:00:28] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

[00:00:33] "I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy "

[00:00:40] These words he did say as I boldly walked by

[00:00:46] "Come an' sit down beside me an' hear my sad story

[00:00:51] "I'm shot in the breast an' I know I must die "

[00:01:01] "It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing

[00:01:07] "Once in the saddle I used to go gay

[00:01:12] "First to the card-house and then down to Rose's

[00:01:17] "But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today "

[00:01:24] "Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin

[00:01:29] "Six dance-hall maidens to bear up my pall

[00:01:35] "Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin

[00:01:40] "Roses to deaden the clods as they fall "

[00:01:47] "Then beat the drum slowly play the Fife lowly

[00:01:53] "Play the dead march as you carry me along

[00:01:58] "Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me

[00:02:04] "I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong "

[00:02:13] "Then go write a letter to my grey-haired mother

[00:02:18] "An' tell her the cowboy that she loved has gone

[00:02:24] "But please not one word of the man who had killed me

[00:02:29] "Don't mention his name and his name will pass on "

[00:02:39] When thus he had spoken the hot sun was setting

[00:02:44] The streets of Laredo grew cold as the clay

[00:02:49] We took the young cowboy down to the green valley

[00:02:55] And there stands his marker we made to this day

[00:03:01] We beat the drum slowly and played the Fife lowly

[00:03:07] Played the dead march as we carried him along

[00:03:12] Down in the green valley laid the sod o'er him

[00:03:17] He was a young cowboy and he said he'd done wrong
