Letras de Streets of Laredo

Jim Reeves

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I saw a young cowboy all dressed in white linen
Dressed in white linen as cold as the clay

So beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the death march as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o′er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I′ve done wrong

Once in the saddle I used to go dashing
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the card house and then down to Rosie's
But I'm shot in the breast and I′m dying today

Bring sixteen tall cowboys to carry my casket
Ten pretty women to sing me a song
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o′er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I′ve done wrong

Please beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the death march as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me
For I′m a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

Thank you very much, thank you
Thank you
Thank you, friends, very much
Now we′d like to sing He'll Have to Go, Mr. Page, please
