The cowboy's or streets of laredo (1876)
By francis henry

As I walked out in the of laredo,
As I walked out in one day,
I spied a young cowboy up in white linen,
Wrapped up in linen and cold as the clay.
"o beat the drum slowly and play the lowly;
the dead march as you carry me along.
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o're me,
For I'm a young and I know I done wrong."

"i see by outfit that your are a cowboy."
These he did say as I boldly stepped by.
"come sit down beside me and my sad story;
I'm in the breast and I know I must die."

"my friends and relations they live in the
They know not their dear boy has gone.
I first to texas and hired to a ranchman,
O I'm a young cowboy and I know I've wrong."

"it was once in the I used to go dashing:
It was once in the saddle I to go gay.
First to the dram and then to the card house,
Got shot in the breast and I'm today."

"get six jolly to carry my coffin;
Get six maidens to sing me a song.
Put bunches of roses all my coffin,
Put roses to deaden the cods as fall."

"go around you a group of young cowboys,
And tell the story of this my sad fate.
Tell one and the other before go further,
To stop their wild roving it's too late."

"go me a cup, a cup of cold water
To cool my lips," the young cowboy said.
Before I the spirit had left him
And gone to it's maker--the was dead.

We beat the slowly and played the fife lowly,
And wept as we bore him along.
For awe all our comrade, so brave, young, and handsome,
We all our comrade although he'd done wrong.
