Introduction:
D A D A D
As I walked out in Lar-edo one day.
VERSE ONE
D A D A
As I walked out in the streets of Lar-edo,
D A D A
as I walked out in Lar-edo one day.
D A D A
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
D A D A
Take me to the valley there lay the sod o?re me
D A D A D
I?m a young cowboy and know I?ve done wrong
VERSE TWO
D A D A
I see by your outfit..that you are a cowboy.
D A D A
These words he did say as I boldly walked by
D A D A
Come sit down be-side me and hear my sad story
D A D A D
Got shot in the breast and I know I must die.
VERSE THREE
D A D A
To cool my parched lips then the poor cowboy said
D A D A
before I re-turned his sprit had left him
D A D A D
had gone to his maker, the cowboy was dead.
CHORUS REPEAT
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
D A D A
Take me to the valley there lay the sod o?re me
D A D A D
I?m a young cowboy and know I?ve done wrong
