The Buffalo Skinners chords by Cisco Houston
Verse 1
Am
Dm
Come all you old time cowboys
Am
And listen to my song
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
Concerning some wild cowboys
Who did agree to go
Dm
And spend the summer pleasant
Am
On the range of the buffalo
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
Dm
And spend a summer pleasant
Am
On the trail of the buffalo?"
Dm
Well me being out of work right then
Verse 3
Am
To that drover I did say
"This goin' out on the buffalo road
Depends upon your pay
If you pay good wages
Transportation to and fro
Dm
Well I think I might go with you
Am
On the range of the buffalo"
Dm
Yes I will pay good wages
Verse 4
Am
And transportation too
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
Dm
Well with all this flatterin' talkin'
Am
He signed up quite a train
Some ten or twelve in number
All able bodied men
Our trip it was a pleasant one
As we hit the Westward Row
Dm
Until we struck ol' Boggy Creek
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
Dm
And the outlaws waiting to pick us off
Am
In old New Mexico
Dm
Well the working season ended
Verse 7
Am
But the drover would not pay
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
Am
On the range of the buffalo
