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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"go me a cup, a cup of cold water
To cool my parched lips," the cowboy said.
Before I returned the spirit had 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 loved our comrade he'd done wrong.
