Buffalo Skinners Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Come all you old time cow [Dm]boys
And listen [Am]to my song
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
Concerning some wild cowboys
Who did agree to go
And spend the summer [Dm]pleasant
On the range of the buf[Am]falo
Well I found myself in [Dm]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
And spend a summer [Dm]pleasant
On the trail of the buf[Am]falo?"
Well me being out of work [Dm]right then

[Verse 3]
To that drover [Am]I did say
"This goin' out on the buffalo road
Depends upon your pay
If you pay good wages
Transportation to and fro
Well I think I might go [Dm]with you
On the range of the [Am]buffalo"
Yes I [Dm]will pay good wages

[Verse 4]
And transportation [Am]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]And you'll also lose your pay[Am]

[Verse 5]
Well with all this flatterin' [Dm]talkin'
He signed up [Am]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
Until we struck ol' Boggy [Dm]Creek
In old New Mexico
[Am]

[Verse 6]
Well, here our pleasures ended
[Dm]And our troubles all be gu[Am]n
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
And the outlaws waiting to pick us [Dm]off
In old New Mex[Am]ico
Well the working season [Dm]ended

[Verse 7]
But the drover [Am]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
On the range of the [Am]buffalo
