Buffalo Skinners - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Come all you old time cowboys[00:00:03]

And listen to my song[00:00:07]

Please do not grow weary[00:00:11]

I'll not detain you long[00:00:15]

Concerning some wild cowboys[00:00:20]

Who did agree to go[00:00:23]

Spend the summer pleasant[00:00:26]

On the trail of the buffalo[00:00:30]

I found myself in griffin[00:00:34]

In the spring of '83[00:00:38]

When a well known famous drover[00:00:42]

Come walking up to me[00:00:46]

Said how do you do young fellow[00:00:50]

Well how would you like to go[00:00:54]

And spend the summer pleasant[00:00:57]

On the trail of the buffalo[00:01:01]

Well I being out of work right then[00:01:05]

To the drover I did say[00:01:07]

Going out on the buffalo road[00:01:10]

Depends on the pay[00:01:11]

If you will pay good wages[00:01:14]

And transportation to and fro[00:01:16]

I think I might go with you[00:01:19]

On the hunt of the buffalo[00:01:22]

Of course I'll pay good wages[00:01:27]

And transportation too[00:01:30]

If you will agree to work for me[00:01:32]

Until the season's through[00:01:33]

But if you do get homesick[00:01:37]

And you try to run away[00:01:40]

You will starve to death[00:01:43]

Out on the trail and also lose your pay[00:01:44]

Well with all his flattering talking[00:01:51]

He signed up quite a train[00:01:53]

Some 10 or 12 in number[00:01:57]

Some able bodied men[00:02:00]

Our trip it was a pleasant one[00:02:04]

As we hit the westward road[00:02:07]

Until we crossed old boggy creek[00:02:11]

In old new Mexico[00:02:14]

There our pleasures ended[00:02:18]

And our troubles all began[00:02:20]

A lightening storm hit us[00:02:23]

And made the cattle run[00:02:25]

Got all full of stickers[00:02:28]

From the cactus that did not grow[00:02:31]

And the outlaws watching[00:02:34]

To pick us off in the hills of Mexico[00:02:35]

Well our working season ended[00:02:41]

And the drover would not pay[00:02:44]

If you had not drunk too much[00:02:47]

You are all in debt to me[00:02:50]

But the cowboys never had heard[00:02:54]

Such a thing as a bankrupt law[00:02:57]

So we left that drover's bones to bleach[00:03:01]

On the plains of the buffalo[00:03:05]
