Dm

[VERSE 1]
          Dm                 Bb   
Well come on you old time cowboys 
     C           Dm
and listen to my song
Dm                               
Please do not grow weary    I'll 
C               Dm
not detain you long
Dm                                
Conserning some wild cowboys    
        C       G/B
who dare agree to go
Dm                    Bb         
Spend the summer pleasant    on 
    C                Dm
the trail of the buffalo

[VERSE 2]
        Dm                  Bb    
Well I found myself in Griffen in 
     C         Dm
the spring of 83'
       Dm                          
When a well known famous drover    
         C            Dm
he came walkin' up to me
          Dm                       
He said, "How'd ya do young fella  
            C       G/B
  how'd you like to go
Dm                    Bb         
Spend the summer pleasant   on 
   C                Dm
the range of the buffalo"

Dm                           
Goin' out on your buffalo road 
     C              Dm
depends upon your pay
    Dm                     
And if ya pay good wages    
                C      G/B
transpertation to and fro
Dm                      Bb       
I think I might go with you   on 
     C               Dm
the hunt of the buffalo

[VERSE 4]
        Dm                   Bb   
Well of course I pay good wages 
    C             Dm
and transpertation too
Dm                              C
If you agree to work with me 
                Dm
until the season's thru
    Dm                             
But if you do get home sick    and 
           C    G/B
ya try to run away
            Dm                   
Your gonna starve to death out on 
       Bb
that trail
     C               Dm
and also loose your pay

[VERSE 5]
          Dm                 
Well with all that flatterin' 
     Bb       C                Dm
talkin' he signed up quite a train
     Dm                            
Some ten or twelve in number    all
  C          Dm
 able bodied men
        Dm                         
And our tip it was a pleasant one  
                C        G/B
 as we hit that westward road
Dm                          Bb   
Until we crossed old Boggy Creek 
     C          Dm
and old New Mexico

[VERSE 6]
        Dm                  Bb    
That's when our pleasure ended and
      C             Dm
 the troubles all begun
         Dm                        
It was a lightening storm that hit 
             C             Dm
us and made all our horses run
       Dm                        
We got all full of stickers  from 
             C        G/B
the cactus that did grow
        Dm                         
And the outlaws watched to pick us 
 Bb            C            Dm
off   from the hills of Mexico

[VERSE 7]
         Dm                   Bb  
Well our workin season had ended 
        C               Dm
but the drover would not pay
             Dm                    
He said you drunk up all your wages
             C             Dm
 boys  your all in debt to me
   Dm                              
Us cowboys never had heard of such 
                   C         G/B
a thing as that new bankrupt law
       Dm                        
So we left that drovers bones to 
Bb             C                Dm
bleach on the trail of the buffalo
