Lyrics for Streets of Laredo

Here is one of the songs From one of our albums We thought you might enjoy Are you gonna sing? (Yeah) Youth, that's why Where you sing real low, ain't it? (Yeah) Well, this is called, The Young Cowgirl, ha Cowboy Hey (Huh?) You turn to your cows I'll turn to mine As I walked out in the streets of Laredo As I walked out in Laredo one day I spied a young cowboy (cowgirl), all wrapped in white linen Wrapped up in white linen, as cold as the clay Beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly Play the Death March as they carry me on Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me I'm shot in the chest and I'm dyin' today Beat the drum slowly, play the fife lowly Play the Death March as they carry me on Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me I'm shot in the chest and I'm dyin' today Thank you!
