It was in the town of Griffin the year was eighty three[00:00:00]
It was there an old cow puncher stepped up and said to me[00:00:05]
How do you do young fellow and how would you like to go[00:00:11]
And spend a pleasant summer out in New Mexico[00:00:16]
I'll furnish you good wages your transportation too[00:00:22]
If you will but go with me one summer season through[00:00:29]
But if you should get homesick and back to Griffin go[00:00:34]
Then I'll furnish you no horses from the hills of Mexico[00:00:40]
We left the town of Griffin in the merry month of May[00:00:49]
When all the world was lovely and everything was gay[00:00:54]
With saddles on our horses marching over we did go[00:01:00]
Until we reached the logging out in New Mexico[00:01:05]
It was there our pleasures ended and our troubles they began[00:01:12]
The first hail storm fell on us those cattle how they ran[00:01:18]
Through all the thorns and thistles us cowboys had to go[00:01:23]
While the Indians watched upon us out in New Mexico[00:01:29]
Well when the drive was over the riders would not pay[00:01:36]
To all you happy people this much I have to say[00:01:41]
Go back to your friends and loved ones tell others not to go[00:01:47]
To the god forsaken country they call New Mexico[00:01:53]
