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

As I walked out in the of laredo,
As I walked out in one day,
I a young cowboy wrapped up in white linen,
Wrapped up in white linen and as the clay.
"o beat the drum slowly and play the lowly;
Play the dead march as you 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 your that your are a cowboy."
words he did say as I boldly stepped by.
"come sit beside me and hear my sad story;
I'm in the breast and I know I must die."

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

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

"get six jolly cowboys to my coffin;
Get six pretty maidens to me a song.
Put bunches of all over my coffin,
Put to deaden the cods as they fall."

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

"go bring me a cup, a cup of water
To cool my parched lips," the cowboy said.
Before I returned the spirit had him
And gone to maker--the 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 although he'd done wrong.
