《Buffalo Skinners》歌词

[00:00:00] Buffalo Skinners - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:03] Come all you old time cowboys

[00:00:07] And listen to my song

[00:00:11] Please do not grow weary

[00:00:15] I'll not detain you long

[00:00:20] Concerning some wild cowboys

[00:00:23] Who did agree to go

[00:00:26] Spend the summer pleasant

[00:00:30] On the trail of the buffalo

[00:00:34] I found myself in griffin

[00:00:38] In the spring of '83

[00:00:42] When a well known famous drover

[00:00:46] Come walking up to me

[00:00:50] Said how do you do young fellow

[00:00:54] Well how would you like to go

[00:00:57] And spend the summer pleasant

[00:01:01] On the trail of the buffalo

[00:01:05] Well I being out of work right then

[00:01:07] To the drover I did say

[00:01:10] Going out on the buffalo road

[00:01:11] Depends on the pay

[00:01:14] If you will pay good wages

[00:01:16] And transportation to and fro

[00:01:19] I think I might go with you

[00:01:22] On the hunt of the buffalo

[00:01:27] Of course I'll pay good wages

[00:01:30] And transportation too

[00:01:32] If you will agree to work for me

[00:01:33] Until the season's through

[00:01:37] But if you do get homesick

[00:01:40] And you try to run away

[00:01:43] You will starve to death

[00:01:44] Out on the trail and also lose your pay

[00:01:51] Well with all his flattering talking

[00:01:53] He signed up quite a train

[00:01:57] Some 10 or 12 in number

[00:02:00] Some able bodied men

[00:02:04] Our trip it was a pleasant one

[00:02:07] As we hit the westward road

[00:02:11] Until we crossed old boggy creek

[00:02:14] In old new Mexico

[00:02:18] There our pleasures ended

[00:02:20] And our troubles all began

[00:02:23] A lightening storm hit us

[00:02:25] And made the cattle run

[00:02:28] Got all full of stickers

[00:02:31] From the cactus that did not grow

[00:02:34] And the outlaws watching

[00:02:35] To pick us off in the hills of Mexico

[00:02:41] Well our working season ended

[00:02:44] And the drover would not pay

[00:02:47] If you had not drunk too much

[00:02:50] You are all in debt to me

[00:02:54] But the cowboys never had heard

[00:02:57] Such a thing as a bankrupt law

[00:03:01] So we left that drover's bones to bleach

[00:03:05] On the plains of the buffalo
