As I walk down the of Laramie
There's a long tall shadow trailin' me
And my gun hand is steady don't you know
But the hand of the shadow trembles slow
So I laugh at the shadow don't you fear
Don't you know that our victory is near
So I walk down the streets of Laramie
With a long tall shadow trailin' me
Now we come to the end of an empty street
There's a man here who I'm supposed to meet
There he stands here is stop we both fire
And the smoke from the pistols fill the air
Now the crowd slowly gathers all around
So I turn toward the other end of town
Now as I walk down the streets of Laramie
There's no long tall shadow trailin' me
There's no long tall shadow trailin' me
