Key: C minor
Verse 1
Am
F
Come all you good time cowboys
G
Am
and listen to my song
Pray you not grow weary,
Em
Am
I'll not detain you long
Concerning some wild cowboys
Am
G
F
And spend the summer pleasantly
G
Am
On the range of the buffalo.
Twas in the town of Jacksboro
F
G
Am
In the spring of seventy -three
A man by the name of Crego
Em
Am
Comes steppin' up to me
Says, how'd you do, young fella,
Am
F
And spend the summer pleasantly
G
Am
on the range of the buffalo?
Well it's me being out of employment,
F
G
Am
to old Crego I'd say
This going out on the Buffalo Range
Em
Am
depends upon the pay.
But if you pay good wages
Am
F
May be I will go with you
F
G
and transportation too
and you try to run away
Dm
Am
F
You'll starve to death out on the range
G
Am
And you'll also lose your pay
Well, it's now we've crossed
G
Am
Our trouble's just begun
First old buffalo that I skinned,
Em
Am
Christ, how I cut my thumb
While skinning the damned old stinkers,
Am
F
For the outlaws waited to pick us up
G
Am
from the hills of Mexico
G
Am
I wished myself was dead
Old beans and hardtack
Em
Am
and rot ten sour bread
The mosquitoes and the chinches,
Am
F
God's forsaken the buffalo range,
G
Am
And the damned old buffalo.
G
Am
And old Krigo he did say,
The crowd had been extravagant,
Em
Am
We were in debt to him that day.
Well we coaxed him and we argued,
Am
F
He left his damned old bones to bleach
G
Am
On the range of the buffalo
And it's now we've crossed
G
Am
And homeward we are bound
No more in that hellfire country
Em
Am
will ever we be found
The home to our wives and sweethearts
Am
F
God's forsaken the Buffalo Range
G
Am
And the damned old Buffalo
F
G
Am
