[Verse 1]
[Am]Come all you good time cowboys[F]
and [G]listen to my [Am]song
Pray you not grow weary,
I'll [Em]not detain you [Am]long
Concerning some wild cowboys
who did agree to [Dm]go
And [Am]spend the [G]summer pleas[F]antly
On the [G]range [Am]of the buffalo.
Twas in the town of Jacksboro
[F]In the [G]spring of [Am]seventy -three
A man by the name of Crego
Comes [Em]steppin' up to [Am]me
Says, how'd you do, young fella,
and how'd you like to [Dm]go
And [Am]spend the summer pleas[F]antly
on the [G]range [Am]of the buffalo?
Well it's me being out of employment,
[F]to old Cre[G]go I'd[Am] say
This going out on the Buffalo Range
depends [Em]upon the pay.[Am]
But if you pay good wages
and transportation [Dm]too,
[Am]May be I will go with [F]you
to the [G]range of the Buffalo.
[Am]Oh yes, I pays good wages
[F]and transport[G]ation too
[Am]If you will come along with me
and [Em]work the season through
[Am]But if you do grow homesick
and you try to run away
[Dm]You'll starv[Am]e to death out on the rang[F]e
And you'll [G]also lose your [Am]pay
Well, it's now we've crossed
Peace River, [F]boys
Our [G]trouble's [Am]just begun
First old buffalo that I skinned,
Christ, [Em]how I cut my t[Am]humb
While skinning the damned old stinkers,
our lives there was no [Dm]show
For the [Am]outlaws waited to pick us [F]up
from the [G]hills of [Am]Mexico
He fed us on such sorry [F]chalk,
I [G]wished myself was [Am]dead
Old beans and hardtack
and [Em]rot ten sour b[Am]read
The mosquitoes and the chinches,
I tell you boys, [Dm]no go
[Am]God's forsaken the buffalo [F]range,
And the [G]damned [Am]old buffalo.
Well the season was near over[F],
And old [G]Krigo [Am]he did say,
The crowd had been extravagant,
We were in [Em]debt to him that [Am]day.
Well we coaxed him and we argued,
Still it was no [Dm]go.
He [Am]left his damned old bones [F]to bleach
On the [G]range [Am]of the buffalo
And it's now we've crossed
these river [F]bores
And [G]homeward we are [Am]bound
No more in that hellfire country
will [Em]ever we be [Am]found
The home to our wives and sweethearts
tell others not to [Dm]go
[Am]God's forsaken the Buffalo [F]Range
And the [G]damned [Am]old Buffalo
[F][G][Am]
