Verse 1

Bill the

Buffalo, ho, ho.

Once I roamed the western plains.

before we heard of trains.

And before we heard of trains,

the cowboys and the

Indians were always hunting me.

My skin they used for ropes and shoes,

and my meat was a treat for the family.

That's how they used to shout,

and we heard the battle cry.
