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

Come all you old time cowboys [00:00:04]

And listen to my song [00:00:08]

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 [00:00:36]

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]

And 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 "[00:01:36]

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]

The 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[00:03:08]
