------ About the song Streets Of Laredo performed by John Cale

The melody is an old Irish tune......unknown composer.........the lyrics are totally different when sung in Ireland. The tune was brought to America and someone else wrote the yrics to Streets of Laredo.

------ About the song Streets Of Laredo performed by John Cale

When I was a little girl my grandfather told us a story about this song. He said it was a TRUE story and the boy was an Irish immigrant. Of course, my grandfather, an Irish man and Teller of Tall Tales. I wanted to know who wrote the song to see if the author was an Irish man. Does anyone know? I asked who wrote it and now I know.
