《Buffalo Skinners》歌词

[00:00:00] Buffalo Skinners - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:01] Written by：Woody Guthrie

[00:00:03] 'Twas in the town o' Jacksboro in the spring o' seventy three

[00:00:10] A man by the name o' Crego come steppin' up to me

[00:00:17] Said how d'you do young fellers and how'd you like to go

[00:00:23] And spend one summer pleasantly on the range o' the buffalo

[00:00:31] It's me being out of employment to ol' Crego I did say

[00:00:35] That's goin' out on the buffalo range depends upon the pay

[00:00:42] But if you'll pay good wages and transportation too

[00:00:47] I think sir I will go with you to the range o' the buffalo

[00:00:57] Well it's now we've crossed Pease river boys our troubles they have begun

[00:01:05] First old stinker that I cut Christ how I cut my thumb

[00:01:13] While skinnin' the dog gone ol' buffalo our lives they had no show

[00:01:18] For the Indians watched to pick us off while skinnin' the buffalo

[00:01:28] The season being near over ol' Crego he did say

[00:01:36] The crowd had been extravagant was in debt to him that day

[00:01:44] We coaxed him an' we argued but still it was no go

[00:01:51] We left his damned ol' bones to bleached on the range o' the buffalo

[00:02:00] It's now we've crossed Pease river and homeward we are bound

[00:02:09] No more in that old fire country will ever we be found

[00:02:16] Go back to our wives and sweethearts tell others not to go

[00:02:25] For God's forsaken the buffalo range and the damn ol' buffalo
