Snagtooth Sal + 

I was young and happy and my heart was light and gay, + 

Singin’, always singin’ through the sunny summer day; + 

Happy as a lizard in the wavin’ chaparral, + 

Walkin’ down through Laramie with Snagtooth Sal. + 

Sal, Sal, + 

My heart is broke today⁠— + 

Broke in two forever when they laid you in the clay; + 

I would give creation to be walkin’ with my gal⁠— + 

Walkin’ down through Laramie with Snagtooth Sal. + 

Bury me tomorrow where the lily blossoms spring + 

Underneath the willows where the little robins sing. + 

You will yearn to see me⁠—but ah, nevermore you shall⁠— + 

Walkin’ down through Laramie with Snagtooth Sal. + 

Refrain:⁠— + 

Plant a little stone above the little mound of sod; + 

Write: “Here lies a lovin’ an’ a busted heart, begod! + 

Nevermore you’ll see him walkin’ proudly with his gal⁠— + 

Walkin’ down through Laramie with Snagtooth Sal.” + 

Sal, Sal, + 

My heart is broke today⁠— + 

Broke in two forever when they laid you in the clay; + 

I would give creation to be walkin’ with my gal⁠— + 

Walkin’ down through Laramie with Snagtooth Sal. + 
