Intro: verse 1 Early one morning at the St. James Hospital Early one morning in the month of May I spied a young cowboy all wrapped in white linen Wrapped in white linen and as cold as the clay verse 2 Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story Come sit down beside me and hear my sad song For my poor head is aching and my sad heart is breaking I’m a poor cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong verse 3 Send for the preacher to come and pray o’er my body Send for the doctor to come and heal up my wound For my poor head is aching and my sad heart is breaking I’m a poor cowboy and Hell is my doom verse 4 Get me six pretty maidens for to carry my coffin Six pretty maidens for to sing me a song And tell them to bring some of them sweet-smelling lilies To throw o’er my body as they carry me along Outro (fade to end)
