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

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

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

"my friends and relations they live in the
They know not where dear boy has gone.
I first to texas and hired to a ranchman,
O I'm a young cowboy and I I've done 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 house and to the card house,
Got shot in the breast and I'm today."

"get six jolly to carry my coffin;
Get six pretty to sing me a song.
Put of roses all over 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 bring me a cup, a cup of water
To cool my lips," the young cowboy said.
Before I returned the had left him
And gone to it's cowboy was dead.

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