[Introduction]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am G E7 Am Early one morning at the St. James Hospital Am G E7 Early one morning morn in the month of May Am G E7 Am When I looked through the window and a'spied a dear cowboy Am Dm E7 Am A dear cowboy as cold as the clay
[Verse 2]
Am G E7 Am Set ye down by me and hear my sad story Am G E7 Set ye down by me and sing me a song Am G E7 Am For my poor head is aching and my sad heart is breaking Am Dm E7 Am I'm a poor cowboy that knowed he done wrong
[Verse 3]
Am G E7 Am Send for that doctor to come n'heal up my body Am G E7 And send for the preacher to come and pray for my soul Am G E7 Am For my poor head is aching and my sad heart is breaking Am Dm E7 Am I'm a poor cowboy and hell is my doom
[Verse 4]
Am G E7 Am Get sixteen pretty maidens to come and carry my coffin Am G E7 Sixteen pretty maidens to come and sing me a song Am G E7 Am And tell 'em to bring some o'them sweet smelling roses Am Dm E7 Am So they can't smell me as they tote me along
[Verse 5]
Am G E7 Am Beat the drums slowly and play the fife lowly Am G E7 Play the death march as ye carry me along Am G E7 Am Throw bunches of lilies all over my coffin Am Dm E7 Am Thare goes a poor cowboy that knowed he done wrong.
