About the Artist
Lyrics
As I went out walking in the streets of Laredo As I went out walking in Laredo today I saw a young cowboy all dressed in white linen Dressed in white linen as cold as the clay You take six jolly gamblers, six pretty maidens Six pretty maidens to sing you a song Once up to roses, and once down to the card house I'm a young cowboy, and I know I've done wrong So, bang the drum slowly and play the fife lowly Play the death march as they carry me along Take bunches of roses to lay on my pillow Roses to soften the sods as they fall
