Buck Owens - Streets Of Laredo lyrics

rate me

As I walked out on the streets of Laredo as I walked out in Laredo one day

I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

Wrapped up in white linen as cold as the clay

Beat the drum slowly play the fife lowly play the death march as they carry me on

Take me to the green valley lay the sod o'er me

I'm shot in the chest and I'm dying today

[ steel ]

Beat the drum slowly...
