[Verse 1]
As CI walked G7out in the sCtreets of LaG7redo
As CI walked Fout in LaCredo one G7day
I Cspied a young G7cowboy, wrapped Call in white G7linen
CWrapped in white Flinen, as G7cold as the Cclay
[Verse 2]
Oh, Cbeat the drum G7slowly and Cplay the fife G7lowly
CSing the Death FMarch as you Ccarry me aG7long
Take Cme to the G7valley, there Clay the sod G7o'er me
CI'm a young Fcowboy and G7know I've done Cwrong
[Verse 3]
I Csee by your G7outfit that Cyou are a G7cowboy
These Cwords he did Fsay as I Cboldly walked G7by
Come Csit down beG7side me and Chear my sad G7story
Got Cshot in the Fbreast and I G7know I must Cdie
[Verse 4]
Go Cfetch me some G7water a Ccool cup of G7water
To Ccool my parched Flips then the Cpoor cowboy G7said
BeCfore I reG7turned his Cspirit had G7left him
Had Cgone to his Fmaker the G7cowboy was Cdead
[Verse 5]
Oh, bCeat the drum G7slowly and Cplay the fife G7lowly
CSing the Death FMarch as you Ccarry me aG7long
Take Cme to the G7valley, there Clay the sod G7o'er me
CI'm a young Fcowboy and G7know I've done Cwrong
