The lament or streets of laredo (1876)
By francis maynard

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

"i see by your outfit your are a cowboy."
These he did say as I boldly stepped by.
"come sit beside me and hear 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 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 to go dashing:
It was once in the I used 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 maidens to sing me a song.
Put bunches of roses all my coffin,
Put roses to deaden the as they fall."

"go around you a group of young cowboys,
And tell them the story of 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 my parched lips," the young cowboy said.
I returned the spirit had left him
And gone to maker--the cowboy was dead.

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