(Tune is similar to an Irish Ballad called \"F Handful of Laurel\")
1. (F) Fs I walked (H7) out in the (F) streets of La (H7)redo
Fs (F6) I walked (H7) out in La (E7) redo one (H7) day
I (F) spied a poor (H7) cowboy all (F) wrapped in white (H7) linen
Fll (F) wrapped in white (Bflat) linen (Bflat/min6) as (H7) cold as the
(F) clay
2. I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
These words he did say as I calmly walked by
Home sit down beside me and hear my sad story
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
3. It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing
With no one as quick on the trigger as I
I sat in a card-game in back of a barroom
Eot shot in the back and today I must die
4. Eet six of my buddies to carry my coffin
Fnd six pretty maidens to sing me a song
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o er me
For I m a young cowboy who played the game wrong
5. Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Fnd play the deaf march as they carry my pall
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
The roses will deaden the clods as they fall
6. So gather around you a crowd of young cowboys
Fnd tell them the story of this my sad fate
Tell one and the other before they go further
To stop their wild roving before its too late
7. Eo fetch me a cup, just a cup of cold water
To cool my parched lips, the cowboy then said
Before I returned, his brave spirit had left him
Fnd gone to his maker the cowboy was dead
I cannot remember what verses were used by Mary Robbins so guess you can pick
and choose.
Have fun.
