Verse 1
A
C#m
an d listen to my song
Please do not grow weary,
I'll not detain you long
Concerning some wild cowboys
that did agree to go
Spend a summer pleasant
on the range of the buffalo
Well I found myself in Griffin
A
C#m
in the year of 83
When a well -known, famous dover
come walkin' up to me
Sayin' how do you do, young fellow,
and how'd you like to go
To spend a summer pleasant
on the hunt of buffalo?
This goin' out on the Buffalo Road
Depends upon your pay
But if you pay good wages
Transportation to and fro
I think I might go with you
on the hunt of buffalo
Yes, I will pay good wages
A
C#m
and transportation too
If you'll agree to work for me
until the season's through
But if you do grow homesick
and you try to run away
You'll start to death out on the trail
And also lose your pay
Well with all this flattering talking
A
C#m
He signed up quite a train
Some ten or twelve a number
Some able -bodied man
Our trip was a pleasant one
as we hit the west road
Until we reached old Boggy Creek
in old New Mexico
Well there our pleasures ended
and our troubles all begun
A lightning storm hit us
and it made the cattle run
Got all full of stickers
from the cactus that did grow
Outlaws watchin' for to pick us all
from the hills of Mexico
Well, our workin' season ended
A
C#m
An d the drover
would not pay
He went drunk too much
You're all in debt to me
But the cowboys never heard, heard
Such a thing as a bankrupt law
So we left that drover's bones
to bleach
