[00:00:00] Cowboy's Lament (Album Version) - Burl Ives

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:04] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

[00:00:09] As I walked out in Laredo one day

[00:00:13] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

[00:00:18] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

[00:00:26] I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy

[00:00:31] These words he did say as I boldly walked by

[00:00:35] Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story

[00:00:40] I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die

[00:00:47] It was once in the saddle I used to go dashing

[00:00:52] Once in the saddle I used to go gay

[00:00:56] First down to Rosie's and then to the card house

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

[00:01:08] Get sixteen gamblers to carry my coffin

[00:01:13] Get six jolly cowboys to sing me a song

[00:01:17] Take me to the graveyard and lay the sod o'er me

[00:01:22] For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

[00:01:29] Get six jolly cowboys to carry my coffin

[00:01:34] Get six pretty maidens to sing me a song

[00:01:38] Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me

[00:01:42] For I'm a young cowboy I know I've done wrong

[00:01:50] Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly

[00:01:55] Play the Dead March as they carry me along

[00:02:00] Put bunches of roses all over my coffin

[00:02:05] Put roses to deaden the clods as they fall

[00:02:13] As I walked out in the streets of Laredo

[00:02:19] As I walked out in Laredo one day

[00:02:23] I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen

[00:02:28] Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
