Verse 1
(A minor) Come on, you old -time cowboys (F major)
And listen to my song (A minor)
(F major) Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you (A minor) long
This is for Boyd,
concern (F major) ing some wild cowboys
who didn't agree to (A minor) go
Oh, spend one summer (F major) pleasantly
on the range of the buffalo. (A minor)
Found myself in (F major) Griffin in the year of 83,
(A minor)
when a (F major) well -known famous drover
come a -walkin' up to me (A minor) (F major)
sayin' how do you do young fellow
and how'd you like to go
(A minor) an d spend one summer pleasant
(F major) on the range of the buffalo (A minor)
Well, me bein' out of work (F major) right then
To this drover I did (A minor) say
Is (F major) goin' out on the Buffalo Road
Depends upon your (A minor) pay
Buddy, (F major) if you pay good wages,
transportation too, and fro
(A minor) I think I (F major) might go with you
on the hunt of buffalo
(A minor) Yes, I will pay good (F major) wages
and transportation too
(A minor) If (F major) you'll agree to work for me
until the season's through
(A minor) But (F major) if you do grow homesick
And you try to run away (A minor)
You'll starve to death (E minor)
Out on the (F major) trail
and also lose your pay (A minor) (F major) guitar so (A minor) lo
Well with all this flattering (F major) talking
He signed up quite (A minor) a train
Some (F major) ten or twelve in number
Some able -bodied men
(A minor) Our (F major) trip was a pleasant one
as we hit the westward road
(A minor) Until we (F major) reached old Boggy Creek
In old New Mexico (A minor)
Well it was there (F major) our pleasures ended
and our troubles all begun
(A minor) A (F major) lightning storm hit us
and I made the cattle run
(A minor) I got all (F major) full of stickers
from the cactus that did grow (A minor)
Outlaws, watchin' (E minor) for (F major) to pick us up
From the hills of Mexico (A minor)
Well our workin' (F major) season ended
And the drover would not (A minor) pay
He (F major) went drunk too much here
all in debt to me (A minor)
But (F major) the cowboys never had heard
of such a thing as a bankrupt law (A minor)
So he left that drover (E minor)
(F major) Bones to bleach
On the plains of the buffalo alone. (A minor)
(A minor) (A minor) (A minor)
(F major)
(A minor) whoosh whoosh applause
