I spied a young cowboy wrapped all in white linen.
D A D A D
Wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay.
D A D A
Oh beat the drums slowly..and play the pipe lowly
D A D A
Sing the dead march..as you carry me along

I?m a young cowboy and know I?ve done wrong

Got shot in the breast and I know I must die.
