Lyrics:

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 
And spend a summer pleasant on the trail of the buffalo 

Well I found myself in Griffin in the spring of '83 
When a well-known, famous drover came a-walking up to me 
Says, How do you do, young feller, and how would you like to go 
And spend a summer pleasant on the trail of the buffalo 

Well, me being out of work right then, to the drover I did say 
(Well, it's me being out of employment) 
This going out on the buffalo range depends upon your pay 
But if you will pay good wages, transportation to and fro 
I think I might go with you to the trail of the buffalo 

Well, with all his flattering talking, he signed up quite a train 
Some ten or twelve in number, some able-bodied men 
Our trip it was a pleasant one as we hit the westward road 
And crossed old Boggy Creek into old New Mexico
