《Buffalo Skinners》歌词

[00:00:00] Buffalo Skinners - Woody Guthrie/Bess Hawes

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

[00:00:06] 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

[00:00:27] 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

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

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

[00:00:59] And spend the summer pleasant

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

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

[00:01:10] To the drover I did say

[00:01:12] "Going out on the Buffalo Road

[00:01:13] Depends on the pay

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

[00:01:19] And transportation to and fro

[00:01:22] I think I might go with you

[00:01:25] On the hunt of the Buffalo "

[00:01:30] "Of course I'll pay good wages

[00:01:31] And transportation too

[00:01:35] If you will agree to work for me

[00:01:37] Until the season's through "

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

[00:01:45] And try to run away

[00:01:46] You will starve to death

[00:01:50] Out on the trail and also

[00:01:53] Lose your pay "

[00:01:54] Well with all his flattering talking

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

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

[00:02:03] Some able bodied men

[00:02:08] The trip it was a pleasant one

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

[00:02:14] Until we crossed old Boggy Creek

[00:02:18] In old New Mexico

[00:02:21] There our pleasures ended

[00:02:24] And our troubles began

[00:02:27] A lightening storm hit us

[00:02:29] And made the cattle run

[00:02:32] Got all full of stickers

[00:02:35] From the cactus that did not grow

[00:02:38] And the outlaws watching

[00:02:40] To pick us off in the

[00:02:42] Hills of Mexico

[00:02:45] Well our working season ended

[00:02:48] And the drover would not pay

[00:02:52] If you had not drunk too much

[00:02:55] You are all in debt to me

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

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

[00:03:07] So we left that drover's

[00:03:08] Bones to bleach

[00:03:11] On the Plains of the Buffalo
