This old standard Cowboy song, also known as The Cowboy's Lament, has been sung for hundreds of years. It has accumulated hundreds of chorus lines, some tame, some ribald. Treat your audience to this new arrangement, to be sung by an a cappella TTBB chorus or quartet plus a bass/baritone soloist. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Members of the Western Writers of America chose this song as one of the top 100 Western Sonngs of all time. The song title refers to the city of Laredo, Texas. The authorship of the words were claimed by Frank H. Maynard (1853-1926) of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The song was first published in 1910. The tune appears to be descended from an Irish song from the late 18th century called, The Unfortunate Rake.
