《Buffalo Skinners》歌词

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

[00:00:07] Come all you old time cowboys

[00:00:10] And listen to my song

[00:00:14] Please do not grow weary

[00:00:17] I'll not detain you long

[00:00:23] Concerning some wild cowboys

[00:00:26] Who did agree to go

[00:00:30] Spend the summer pleasant

[00:00:33] On the trail of the Buffalo

[00:00:38] I found myself in Griffin

[00:00:42] In the spring of '83

[00:00:45] When a well known famous drover

[00:00:50] Came walking up to me

[00:00:55] Said "How do you do young fellow

[00:00:58] Well how would you like to go

[00:01:02] And spend the summer pleasant

[00:01:05] On the trail of the Buffalo "

[00:01:10] Well I being out of work right then

[00:01:12] To the drover I did say

[00:01:15] "Going out on the Buffalo Road

[00:01:16] Depends on the pay

[00:01:19] If you will pay good wages

[00:01:22] And transportation to and fro

[00:01:25] I think I might go with you

[00:01:28] On the hunt of the Buffalo "

[00:01:33] "Of course I'll pay good wages

[00:01:36] And transportation too

[00:01:38] If you will agree to work for me

[00:01:40] Until the season's through "

[00:01:43] But if you do get homesick

[00:01:47] And try to run away

[00:01:49] You will starve to death

[00:01:50] Out on the trail

[00:01:53] And also lose your pay "

[00:01:57] Well with all his flattering talking

[00:01:59] He signed up quite a train

[00:02:02] Some 10 or 12 in number

[00:02:05] Some able bodied men

[00:02:10] The trip it was a pleasant one

[00:02:13] As we hit the westward road

[00:02:17] Until we crossed old Boggy Creek

[00:02:20] In old New Mexico

[00:02:24] There our pleasures ended

[00:02:27] And our troubles began

[00:02:30] A lightening storm hit us

[00:02:32] And made the cattle run

[00:02:35] Got all full of stickers

[00:02:38] From the cactus that did not grow

[00:02:41] And the outlaws watching

[00:02:42] To pick us off in the hills of Mexico

[00:02:48] Well our working season ended

[00:02:51] And the drover would not pay

[00:02:55] If you had not drunk too much

[00:02:58] You are all in debt to me

[00:03:03] But the cowboys never had heard

[00:03:06] Such a thing as a bankrupt law

[00:03:10] So we left that drover's bones to bleach

[00:03:14] On the Plains of the Buffalo
