Buffalo Skinners (Trail Of The Buffalo) - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Come all you old time cowboys[00:00:04]
And listen to my song[00:00:07]
Please do not grow weary[00:00:12]
I'll not detain you long[00:00:15]
Concerning some wild cowboys[00:00:20]
Who did agree to go[00:00:24]
Spend the summer pleasant[00:00:27]
On the trail of the buffalo[00:00:31]
I found myself in griffin[00:00:35]
In the spring of '83[00:00:39]
When a well known famous drover[00:00:43]
Came walking up to me[00:00:47]
Said "How do you do young fellow[00:00:52]
Well how would you like to go[00:00:55]
Spend the summer pleasant[00:00:59]
On the trail of the buffalo "[00:01:02]
Well i being out of work right then[00:01:07]
To the drover i did say[00:01:09]
"Going out on the buffalo road[00:01:11]
Depends on the pay[00:01:13]
If you will pay good wages[00:01:16]
And transportation to and fro[00:01:18]
I think i might go with you[00:01:21]
On the hunt of the buffalo"[00:01:24]
"Of course i'll pay good wages[00:01:29]
And transportation too[00:01:32]
If you will agree to work for me[00:01:34]
Until the season's through"[00:01:35]
But if you do get homesick[00:01:39]
And try to run away[00:01:42]
You will starve to death[00:01:45]
Out on the trail and also lose your pay"[00:01:46]
Well with all his flattering talking[00:01:53]
He signed up quite a train[00:01:56]
Some 10 or 12 in number[00:01:59]
Some able bodied men[00:02:02]
I trip it was a pleasant one[00:02:07]
As we hit the westward road[00:02:10]
Until we crossed old boggy creek[00:02:13]
In old new mexico[00:02:17]
There our pleasures ended[00:02:20]
And our troubles began[00:02:23]
A lightening storm hit us[00:02:26]
And made the cattle run[00:02:28]
Got all full of stickers[00:02:31]
From the cactus that did not grow[00:02:33]
And the outlaws watching[00:02:37]
To pick us off in the hills of mexico[00:02:38]
Well our working season ended[00:02:44]
And the drover would not pay[00:02:47]
If you had not drunk too much[00:02:50]
You are all in debt to me[00:02:53]
But the cowboys never had heard[00:02:58]
Such a thing as a bankrupt law[00:03:01]
So we left that drover's bones to bleach[00:03:04]
On the plains of the buffalo[00:03:09]
