Plains Of The Buffalo

Am C G Am Was in the town of Jacksboro in the year of 63 Am C G Am7 When a man by the name of Kreego came steppin' up to me Am C G Am Sayin' how you do young fellow, and how'd you like to go Am C G Am7 And spend the summer pleasenty, on the plains of the buffalo Am C G Am Well I been out of work right then, to the drover I did say Am C G Am7 This goin' out on the buffalo road, depends upon your pay Am C G Am But if you pay good wages, transportation to and fro Am C G Am7 Well I think I might go with you, to the plains of the buffalo Am C G Am Yes I pay good wages, and transportation too Am C G Am7 If you'll agree to work for me, until the seasons through Am C G Am But if you get dissatisfied, and head back for your home Am C G Am7 Its likely you will starve to death, on the plains of the buffalo Am C G Am With all this flattering talking, he signed up quite a train Am C G Am7 Some ten or twelve in number, some able bodied men Am C G Am Our way it was a pleasant one, as westward we did go Am C G Am7 Until we crossed old borrow creek, into New Mexico Am C G Am The hardships of the summer, would bring the strongest men Am C G Am7 While skinning the herd of baffalo, our lives they were so low Am C G Am With outlaws waiting to pick us off, in the hills of New Mexico C C G Am Well the working season ended, and Kreego he did say C C G Am7 You all have drunk too much, I owe you no more pay Am C G Am But the cowboys never had heard, such a thing and even so Am C G Am So we left that drover's bones to bleach, on the plains of the buffalo *Note: Hammer on every first Am chord
