 Listen to the item
Streets of Laredo (1876)
by Francis Henry Maynard
is based on the Irish ballads, A Handful Of Laureland The Bard Of Armagh.
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a young cowboy dressed up in white linen
Dressed up in white linen as cold as the clay.
So beat the drum slowly, and play the pipe lowly
Beat the dead march as you carry me along
Take me to the valley and lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong.
