The Streets of Laredo (Dog and Harp Special)

This is, yet another public domain song. It is possible that Johnny Cash put the words to it. I'll post it one of these days, if I find out that it is true. Personally, I love the tune and so does Sassie. In the long run, I will probably memorize the words to this song and include it as one of the songs in my reportoire.

It is a bit complex. No easy chorus that follows the verses. The chorus changes to a different tune. Remember, ... again, I am using a cheap American Ace Harmonica from Hohner which has been jobbed out to China.

The Lyrics are way too many to put down here, but it would be a disservice to pull the reader/explorer to give reason not (NOT) to go to the site listed above. It is worth it. Sassie and performing the song in the Key of C. Ace Harmonicas only come in two keys C and G, but for $2.50, there should be no one complaining. Have fun.
