dick miles - the range of the buffalo lyrics

Loading...

it happened in jacksboro boys, in the year of seventy+three
a man by the name of crego come steppin’ up to me
says “how’d ya do, young feller,” and, “how’d ya like to go
and spend the summer pleasantly on the range of the buffalo?”

“it’s me bein’ out of employment, boys” to old crego i did say
“this goin’ out on the buffalo range depends upon your pay
but if you would pay good wages, give transportation too
i think that i would go with you, to the range of the buffalo.”

it’s now we’ve crossed pease river, our troublеs have begun
that first d+mned tail i wеnt to rip, christ how i cut my thumb!
the water was salty as h+llfire; that deep i could not go
and the indians waited to picked us off, while skinning the buffalo

our hearts was cased in buffalo hocks, our souls was cased in steel
but the hardships of that summer boys, would nearly make me reel
while skinning the d+mned old stinkers, our lives they had no show
the indians waited to picked us off, from the hills of mexico

well, the season bein’ near over boys, so crego he did say
that we had been extravagant, and were in debt to him that day
we coaxed him and we begged him, but still it was no go
so, we left his d+mned old bones to bleach, on the range of the buffalo

so, it’s now we’ve crossed pease river boys, and homeward we are bound
no more in that h+llfired country shall ever we be found
go home to our wives and our sweethearts, tell others not to go
for, god’s forsaken the buffalo range and the d+mned old buffalo
