Get your tickets, everyone's a comedian.. here's a portion of the lyric, best sung by Tex Ritter IMO
As I walked out in the streets of Laredo,
As I walked out in Laredo one day.
I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen,
All wrapped in white linen, as cold as the clay.
"I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,"
These words he did say as I boldly walked by.
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story;
I am shot in the breast and I know I must die.
Stereotypes aside, I just spent the evening implementing a rule how youth horse riders should all be wearing helmets, how's that for irony? Head injury isn't funny.
