                      THE DYING COWBOY.

                              Song
             AS I rode down by Tom Sherman's bar-room,
             Tom Sherman's bar-room so early one day,
             There I espied a handsome young ranger
             All wrap[p]ed in white linen, as cold as the clay.
                                                                     
            "I see by your outfit that you're a ranger,"
            The words that he said as I went riding by,
          "Come, sit down beside me, and here my,
                sad story,
          I'm shot through the breast and know I must
                   die."
