Marty Robbins - The Streets Of Laredo (No. 1 Cowboy)
Marty Robbins - The Streets Of Laredo (No. 1 Cowboy)
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I saw a young cowboy, all dressed in white linen
Dressed in white linen, as cold as the clay
So, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
Once in the saddle I used to go dashing
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First to the cardhouse and then down to Rosy's
But I'm shot in the breast and I'm dyin' today
Bring sixteen tall cowboys to carry my casket,
Ten pretty women to sing me a song
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong
Please, beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Play the Death March as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o'er me
For I'm a young cowboy and I known I've done wrong

Had this one years ago on a LOng PLaying Record, but can't seem to find it. Really a sensational song. My next door neighbour use to sing El Paso and then follow up with this one round the campfire Saturday nights.

There is an old movie called El Paso. It starred John Payne and Sterling Hayden. Unfortunately, this movie does not tell the story of Feleena.

Yes. His poetry, his singing, his passion and his overall make him truly a genius.
