Buffalo Skinners - 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 [00:00:16]

Concerning some wild cowboys [00:00:21]

Who did agree to go [00:00:24]

Spend the summer pleasant [00:00:28]

On the trail of the Buffalo [00:00:32]

I found myself in Griffin [00:00:37]

In the spring of '83 [00:00:40]

When a well known famous drover [00:00:44]

Came walking up to me [00:00:49]

Said "How do you do young fellow [00:00:53]

Well how would you like to go [00:00:57]

And spend the summer pleasant [00:01:01]

On the trail of the Buffalo "[00:01:04]

Well I being out of work right then [00:01:09]

To the drover I did say [00:01:11]

"Going out on the Buffalo Road [00:01:14]

Depends on the pay [00:01:15]

If you will pay good wages [00:01:18]

And transportation to and fro [00:01:21]

I think I might go with you [00:01:24]

On the hunt of the Buffalo "[00:01:27]

"Of course I'll pay good wages [00:01:32]

And transportation too [00:01:35]

If you will agree to work for me [00:01:37]

Until the season's through "[00:01:39]

But if you do get homesick [00:01:42]

And try to run away [00:01:46]

You will starve to death [00:01:49]

Out on the trail and also lose your pay "[00:01:50]

Well with all his flattering talking [00:01:57]

He signed up quite a train [00:02:00]

Some 10 or 12 in number [00:02:03]

Some able bodied men [00:02:06]

The trip it was a pleasant one [00:02:12]

As we hit the westward road [00:02:14]

Until we crossed old Boggy Creek [00:02:18]

In old New Mexico [00:02:22]

There our pleasures ended [00:02:26]

And our troubles began [00:02:28]

A lightening storm hit us [00:02:31]

And made the cattle run [00:02:33]

Got all full of stickers [00:02:37]

From the cactus that did not grow [00:02:39]

And the outlaws watching [00:02:42]

To pick us off in the hills of Mexico [00:02:44]

Well our working season ended [00:02:50]

And the drover would not pay [00:02:53]

You had not drunk too much [00:02:56]

You are all in debt to me [00:02:59]

But the cowboys never had heard [00:03:03]

Such a thing as a bankrupt law [00:03:07]

So we left that drover's bones to bleach [00:03:11]

On the Plains of the Buffalo[00:03:15]
