Streets of Laredo - Live, Grugahalle Essen 14.10.19

As I went out walking the streets of Laredo
As I went out walking, Laredo today
I saw a young cowboy all dressed in white linen
Dressed in white linen as cold as the clay

Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
Once up to roses, once down to the card house
I am a young cowboy, I know I must die

So bang the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Sing the death march as they carry me along
Take bunches of roses to lay on my pillow
Roses to soften the sods as they fall, as they fall
