Buffalo Skinners
Come all you old time cowboys
And listen to my song
Please do not grow weary
I'll not detain you long
Concerning some wild cowboys
Who did agree to go
Spend the summer pleasant
On the trail of the Buffalo
I found myself in Griffin
In the spring of '83
When a well known famous drover
Came walking up to me
Said  "How do you do  young fellow
Well how would you like to go
And spend the summer pleasant
On the trail of the Buffalo "
Well I being out of work right then
To the drover I did say
"Going out on the Buffalo Road
Depends on the pay
If you will pay good wages
And transportation to and fro
I think I might go with you
On the hunt of the Buffalo "
"Of course I'll pay good wages
And transportation too
If you will agree to work for me
Until the season's through "
But if you do get homesick
And try to run away
You will starve
Out on the trail and also lose your pay "
Well with all his flattering talking
He signed up quite a train
Some 10 or 12 in number
Some able bodied men
The trip it was a pleasant one
As we hit the westward road
Until we crossed old Boggy Creek
In old New Mexico
There our pleasures ended
And our troubles began
A lightening storm hit us
