Buffalo Skinners (Remaster) - Woody Guthrie/The Almanac Singers[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[00:00:16]
Concerning some wild cowboys[00:00:21]
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 you 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]
A trip it was a pleasant one[00:02:07]
As we hit the westward road[00:02:10]
Until we crossed old Boggy Creek[00:02:14]
In old New Mexico[00:02:17]
There our pleasures ended[00:02:21]
And our troubles all began[00:02:23]
A lightening storm hit us[00:02:26]
And made the cattle run[00:02:29]
Got all full of stickers[00:02:31]
From the cactus that did not grow[00:02:34]
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[00:03:05]
On the plains of the Buffalo[00:03:09]
