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
