Verse 1
Am
Dm
Come all you old time cowboys
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
Concerning some wild cowboys
Who did agree to go
Dm
Well I found myself in Griffin In eighteen eighty-
Verse 2
Am
three
When a well- known famous drover
Come a'walkin' up to me
Sayin' "How do you do young feller
And how'd you like to go
Verse 3
"This goin' out on the buffalo road
Depends upon your pay
If you pay good wages
Transportation to and fro
Verse 4
If you'll agree to work for me
Until the season's through
But if you do grow homesick
And try and run away
You'll starve to death out on the trail
Dm
Am
And you'll also lose your pay
Verse 5
Some ten or twelve in number
All able bodied men
Our trip it was a pleasant one
As we hit the Westward Row
In old New Mexico
Am
Verse 6
Well, here our pleasures ended
Dm
Am
And our troubles all begun
When a lightnin' storm come up on us
And it made the cattle run
We got full of the stickers
From the cactus that did grow
Verse 7
He said "You went
and drunk too much
You're all in debt to me"
But the cowboys never had heard
Of such a thing as a bankrupt law
So we left the drover's bones
Dm
to bleach
