《The Cowboy’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Cowboy's Lament - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

[00:00:05] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

[00:00:10] As I walked out in Laredo one day

[00:00:15] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

[00:00:20] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

[00:00:27] I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy

[00:00:32] These words he did say as I boldly walked by

[00:00:36] Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story

[00:00:41] I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die

[00:00:49] It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing

[00:00:53] Once in the saddle I used to go gay

[00:00:58] First down to Rosie's and then to the card house

[00:01:03] Got shot in the breast and I'm dying today

[00:01:10] Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin

[00:01:15] Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song

[00:01:20] Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me

[00:01:24] For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

[00:01:32] Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

[00:01:37] Play the Dead March as they carry me along

[00:01:42] Put bunches of roses all over my coffin

[00:01:47] Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall

[00:01:55] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

[00:02:00] As I walked out in Laredo one day

[00:02:05] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

[00:02:09] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
