Am                   C  
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo,  
G                 Am  
As I walked out in Laredo one day,  
Am                  C  
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen,  
G                    Am  
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.  

Am                C  
I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,  
G                     Am  
These words he did say as I boldly stepped by.  
Am                       C  
Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,  
G                    Am  
For I'm shot in the chest and I know I must die.  

Am                    C  
Oh, please do not leave me, I cry out to my darling,  
G                       Am  
For I love you so dearly, I love you, you see.  
Am                      C  
But now I am dying, my heart's breaking slowly,  
G                     Am  
For I long to be with you, my darling, and free.
