《Buffalo Skinners》歌词

[00:00:00] Buffalo Skinners - Cisco Houston

[00:00:03] Come all you old time cowboys and listen to my song

[00:00:09] Please do not grow weary I'll not detain you long

[00:00:18] Concerning some wild cowboys who did agree to go

[00:00:24] And the spend the summer pleasant on the range of the buffalo

[00:00:32] Well I found myself in griffin in 1883

[00:00:39] When a well known famous drover come walkin' up to me

[00:00:47] He said how do you do young feller

[00:00:50] And how'd you like to go

[00:00:53] And spend the summer pleasant

[00:00:56] On the trail of the buffalo

[00:01:00] Well me bein' out of work right

[00:01:02] Then to that drover I did say

[00:01:06] This goin' out on the buffalo road depends upon your pay

[00:01:15] If you'll pay good wages transportation to and fro

[00:01:21] Well I think I might go with you

[00:01:24] On the range of the buffalo

[00:01:28] Yes I will pay good wages and transportation too

[00:01:34] If you'll agree to work for me

[00:01:37] Until the season's through

[00:01:41] But if you do grow homesick

[00:01:45] And try to run away

[00:01:48] You'll starve to death out on the

[00:01:50] Trail and you'll also lose your pay

[00:01:57] Well with all this flatterin' talkin'

[00:02:00] Well he signed up quite a train

[00:02:04] Some ten or twelve in number all able bodied men

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

[00:02:15] As we hit the westward road

[00:02:18] Until we struck old boggy creek in old new Mexico

[00:02:26] Well here our pleasures ended and our troubles all begun

[00:02:32] When a lightin' storm hit us

[00:02:36] And it made the cattle run

[00:02:40] We got all full of stickers

[00:02:44] From the cactus that did grow

[00:02:47] And the outlaws waitin' to pick us off in old new Mexico

[00:02:55] Well our workin' season ended

[00:02:59] But that drover would not pay

[00:03:03] He said you went and drunk too much

[00:03:07] You're all in debt to me

[00:03:11] But the cowboys never had heard of

[00:03:15] Such a thing as a bankrupt law

[00:03:19] So we left that drover's bones to bleach

[00:03:23] On the range of the buffalo
