《Buffalo Skinners(Trail Of The Buffalo)》歌词

[00:00:00] Buffalo Skinners (Trail Of The Buffalo) - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:04] Come all you old time cowboys

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

[00:00:12] Please do not grow weary

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

[00:00:20] Concerning some wild cowboys

[00:00:24] Who did agree to go

[00:00:27] Spend the summer pleasant

[00:00:31] On the trail of the buffalo

[00:00:35] I found myself in griffin

[00:00:39] In the spring of '83

[00:00:43] When a well known famous drover

[00:00:47] Came walking up to me

[00:00:52] Said "How do you do young fellow

[00:00:55] Well how would you like to go

[00:00:59] Spend the summer pleasant

[00:01:02] On the trail of the buffalo "

[00:01:07] Well i being out of work right then

[00:01:09] To the drover i did say

[00:01:11] "Going out on the buffalo road

[00:01:13] Depends on the pay

[00:01:16] If you will pay good wages

[00:01:18] And transportation to and fro

[00:01:21] I think i might go with you

[00:01:24] On the hunt of the buffalo"

[00:01:29] "Of course i'll pay good wages

[00:01:32] And transportation too

[00:01:34] If you will agree to work for me

[00:01:35] Until the season's through"

[00:01:39] But if you do get homesick

[00:01:42] And try to run away

[00:01:45] You will starve to death

[00:01:46] Out on the trail and also lose your pay"

[00:01:53] Well with all his flattering talking

[00:01:56] He signed up quite a train

[00:01:59] Some 10 or 12 in number

[00:02:02] Some able bodied men

[00:02:07] I trip it was a pleasant one

[00:02:10] As we hit the westward road

[00:02:13] Until we crossed old boggy creek

[00:02:17] In old new mexico

[00:02:20] There our pleasures ended

[00:02:23] And our troubles began

[00:02:26] A lightening storm hit us

[00:02:28] And made the cattle run

[00:02:31] Got all full of stickers

[00:02:33] From the cactus that did not grow

[00:02:37] And the outlaws watching

[00:02:38] To pick us off in the hills of mexico

[00:02:44] Well our working season ended

[00:02:47] And the drover would not pay

[00:02:50] If you had not drunk too much

[00:02:53] You are all in debt to me

[00:02:58] But the cowboys never had heard

[00:03:01] Such a thing as a bankrupt law

[00:03:04] So we left that drover's bones to bleach

[00:03:09] On the plains of the buffalo
