Verse 1
Traditional, (A minor) arranged
By Arlo Guthrie
Come all you old time cow (D minor) boys
And (C major) listen (G major) to my (A minor) song
Please do not grow weary
I'll (G major) not detain you (A minor) long
Concerning some wild cowboys
Who (G major) did agree to (A minor) go
And spend the summer pleas (D minor) ant
On the range of the buffalo.
(A minor)
Verse 2
Well I found myself in Griffin (D minor)
In eighteen (G major) eighty-three
(A minor) When When a man by
the name of Creagho
Come (G major) a'walkin' up to (A minor) me
Sayin "How do you
do young fella
And how'd (G major) you like to (A minor) go
And spend the summer pleasant
(D minor) On the range of the (A minor) buffalo".

Verse 3
Well (A minor) me being out of work right (D minor) then
To that drover (G major) I did (A minor) say
"My goin' out on the buffalo range
De (G major) pends upon the (A minor) pay
But if you pay good wages,
Transport (G major) ation to and (A minor) fro
I think I might go with (D minor) you
On the range of the (A minor) Buffalo".
Verse 4
Well (A minor) yes I pay good wages (D minor)
And transport (A minor) ation too
If you'll agree to work for me
Un (G major) til the season's (A minor) through
But if you do get homesick
And you (G major) try and run (A minor) away
You'll starve to death out
on the (D minor) trail
And you'll also lose (A minor) your pay
Verse 5
Well (A minor) with all the flatterin' talkin'
(D minor) He signed (C major) up (G major) quite a (A minor) train
Some ten or twelve in number
Of (G major) able bodied (A minor) men
And our trip it was a pleasant one
Through (G major) all New Mex (A minor) ico
Until we crossed Pease River (D minor)
On the (C major) range of the (A minor) buffalo
Verse 6
It was (A minor) there our pleasures ended (D minor)
(C major) And our troubles all be (A minor) gun
A lightnin' storm come up on us
And (G major) made the cattle (A minor) run
We got full of the stickers
On the (G major) cactus that did (A minor) grow
And the outlaws waited to pick us (D minor) off
In the hills of (C major) Mex (A minor) ico

Well the working season ended (D minor)
Verse 7
But the drover would (A minor) not pay
He said "You spent your
money boys
(G major) You're all in debt to (A minor) me".
But the cowboys never put much stock
In a (G major) thing like a bankrupt (A minor) law
So we left the bastard's
bones to (D minor) bleach
(G major) On the (D minor) range of the (G major) buffalo.
(A minor)
