The Streets of Laredo Songtext
von The Diamonds

As I walk out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied the poor cowboy all dressed in white linen
All dressed in white linen as cold as the clay
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy
These words he did say as I coldly step by
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
I was shot in the breast and I know I must die


Oh, bring me a cup, a cup of cold water
A cup of cold water the poor cowboy cried
But when I had brought it
His soul had departed
He′d gone to his maker
The cowboy had died
We beat the ground slowly
And played the fire lowly
And played the dead march
As we parted along
For we all love our comrade
So brave young and handsome
We all love our comrade
Although he'd done wrong.
