Buffalo Skinners - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Come all you old time cowboys [00:00:07]
And listen to my song [00:00:10]
Please do not grow weary [00:00:14]
I'll not detain you long [00:00:17]
Concerning some wild cowboys [00:00:23]
Who did agree to go [00:00:26]
Spend the summer pleasant [00:00:30]
On the trail of the Buffalo [00:00:33]
I found myself in Griffin [00:00:38]
In the spring of '83 [00:00:42]
When a well known famous drover [00:00:45]
Came walking up to me [00:00:50]
Said "How do you do young fellow [00:00:55]
Well how would you like to go [00:00:58]
And spend the summer pleasant [00:01:02]
On the trail of the Buffalo "[00:01:05]
Well I being out of work right then [00:01:10]
To the drover I did say [00:01:12]
"Going out on the Buffalo Road [00:01:15]
Depends on the pay [00:01:16]
If you will pay good wages [00:01:19]
And transportation to and fro [00:01:22]
I think I might go with you [00:01:25]
On the hunt of the Buffalo "[00:01:28]
"Of course I'll pay good wages [00:01:33]
And transportation too [00:01:36]
If you will agree to work for me [00:01:38]
Until the season's through "[00:01:40]
But if you do get homesick [00:01:43]
And try to run away [00:01:47]
You will starve to death [00:01:49]
Out on the trail[00:01:50]
And also lose your pay "[00:01:53]
Well with all his flattering talking [00:01:57]
He signed up quite a train [00:01:59]
Some 10 or 12 in number [00:02:02]
Some able bodied men [00:02:05]
The trip it was a pleasant one [00:02:10]
As we hit the westward road [00:02:13]
Until we crossed old Boggy Creek [00:02:17]
In old New Mexico [00:02:20]
There our pleasures ended [00:02:24]
And our troubles began [00:02:27]
A lightening storm hit us [00:02:30]
And made the cattle run [00:02:32]
Got all full of stickers [00:02:35]
From the cactus that did not grow [00:02:38]
And the outlaws watching [00:02:41]
To pick us off in the hills of Mexico [00:02:42]
Well our working season ended [00:02:48]
And the drover would not pay [00:02:51]
If you had not drunk too much [00:02:55]
You are all in debt to me [00:02:58]
But the cowboys never had heard [00:03:03]
Such a thing as a bankrupt law [00:03:06]
So we left that drover's bones to bleach [00:03:10]
On the Plains of the Buffalo[00:03:14]
