《Buffalo Skinners》歌词

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

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

[00:00:07] And listen to my song

[00:00:12] Please do not grow weary

[00:00:16] I'll not detain you long

[00:00:21] Concerning some wild cowboys

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

[00:00:28] Spend the summer pleasant

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:15] Depends on the pay

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:35] And transportation too

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

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

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

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

[00:01:49] You will starve

[00:01:49] Out on the trail and also lose your pay "

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

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

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

[00:02:07] Some able bodied men

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

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

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

[00:02:22] In old New Mexico

[00:02:26] There our pleasures ended

[00:02:28] And our troubles began

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

[00:02:34] And made the cattle run

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

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

[00:02:42] And the outlaws watching

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

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

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

[00:02:56] If you had not drunk too much

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

[00:03:04] But the cowboys never had heard

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

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

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