Verse 1
It (E minor) happened in (G major) Jacksboro, boys,
(E minor) in the year of seventy -three
(B minor) When a (G major) man by the name of Crego
(E minor) came (B minor) stepping up to (G major) me
(D major) Says, how (G major) do you do, young fellow,
(E minor) and how would you (G major) like to go? (E minor)
(E major) And (G major) spend one summer pleasantly
(E minor) on (G major) the range of the buffalo
(E minor) It's me being out (G major) of employment,
(E major) boys, this to Crego (G major) I did say.
This going out on the Buffalo Range
depends (E minor) upon the pay.
(G major) But if you will pay good wages,
(E minor) pay transport (G major) ation too. (E major) (E minor)
(E major) I (E minor) think (G major) sir I (E minor) will go with (E major) you
to (B minor) the range (G major) of the buffalo
yes (E major) I will pay good wages
boys this (G major) old Krigo he did say
provided (D major) (G major) you will go with me
(E major) and (G major) stay the summer through
but (E major) if you should (G major) grow homesick (E major)
come (B minor) back to Jacks (G major) boro.
(E major) I will not pay your transportation
from the range (G major) of the Buffalo.
(E major) It's (D major) now we've
(E major) crossed Pease River boys,
our (G major) troubles have begun.
The first damn tail I went to rip,
(E minor) Christ (B minor) how I cut my thum (G major) b. (E minor)
(G major) Pease River is salty as held fire,
(E major) the (B minor) water I could (G major) never go.
(E major) And (G major) the engines (B minor) watched to pick (E major) us off
(B minor) on the range of the (G major) buffalo.
(B minor) (E minor) Our meat, it was buffalo hock
an (B minor) d iron (G major) wage bread.
(E minor) And all we had (G major) to sleep on
(E major) was a buf (B minor) falo robe (D major) for a bed.
(E minor) The fleas and graybacks work (G major) on us.
(E minor) Oh, (D major) boys, (B minor) they are (G major) not slow. (E minor)
(E major) I'll (G major) say there's no worse hell on earth
than the range of the buffalo.
(E minor) The season (G major) being (E minor) ended, boys,
(G major) this old Krigo he did say
that we had been extravagant.
(E minor) We're in (B minor) debt to him that day,
(D major) we coaxed him and we (G major) begged him,
(E major) but still it (G major) was no go.
(E minor) We (D major) left his (E major) damned old bones to bleach
on (G major) the range of the buffalo.
(D major) An d now (G major) we've (E major) crossed these river
boys
and homeward (G major) we are bound.
No more in that hell -fired country
will (D major) ever (G major) we be found.
Go back to our wives and sweethearts,
(D major) tell others (B minor) not (G major) to go. (E major)
For (D major) God's (G major) forsaken that Buffalo (E minor) Range
(G major) and the damned (D major) old Buffalo.
you
