Buffalo Skinners - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]
Come all you old time cowboys [00:00:04]
And listen to my song [00:00:06]
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 [00:00:27]
On the trail of the Buffalo [00:00:31]
I found myself in Griffin [00:00:35]
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 [00:00:52]
"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 [00:01:10]
"Going out on the Buffalo Road [00:01:12]
Depends on the pay [00:01:13]
If you will pay good wages [00:01:14]
And transportation to and fro [00:01:19]
I think I might go with you [00:01:22]
On the hunt of the Buffalo "[00:01:25]
"Of course I'll pay good wages [00:01:30]
And transportation too [00:01:31]
If you will agree to work for me [00:01:35]
Until the season's through "[00:01:37]
But if you do get homesick [00:01:37]
And try to run away [00:01:45]
You will starve to death [00:01:46]
Out on the trail and also[00:01:50]
Lose your pay "[00:01:53]
Well with all his flattering talking [00:01:54]
He signed up quite a train [00:01:56]
Some 10 or 12 in number [00:01:59]
Some able bodied men [00:02:03]
The trip it was a pleasant one [00:02:08]
As we hit the westward road [00:02:10]
Until we crossed old Boggy Creek [00:02:14]
In old New Mexico [00:02:18]
There our pleasures ended [00:02:21]
And our troubles began [00:02:24]
A lightening storm hit us [00:02:27]
And made the cattle run [00:02:29]
Got all full of stickers [00:02:32]
From the cactus that did not grow [00:02:35]
And the outlaws watching [00:02:38]
To pick us off in the[00:02:40]
Hills of Mexico [00:02:42]
Well our working season ended [00:02:45]
And the drover would not pay [00:02:48]
If you had not drunk too much [00:02:52]
You are all in debt to me [00:02:55]
But the cowboys never had heard [00:03:00]
Such a thing as a bankrupt law [00:03:03]
So we left that drover's[00:03:07]
Bones to bleach [00:03:08]
On the Plains of the Buffalo[00:03:11]
