It was in the town [G#m] of Jacksborough [B] in the year of [C#m] 63
When a man by the [A] name of Grego [C#m] came a [E]-steppin' [B] up to me
[C#m] Said, how'd you do, [A] young fellow, [E]
and how'd you like [F#] to go
And [C#m] spend a summer [G#m] pleasant [B] on the plains of the [C#m] Buffalo?
Well, I'd been out of [G#] work right then, [B] to the drover I did [C#m] say
Goin' [E] out on [A] the Buffalo Road [E] depends upon [B] your pay
[C#] But if you pay [A] good wages, [E]
transportation to [F#] and fro
[C#m] I think I might go [G#] with you [B] to the plains of the [C#m] Buffalo
Oh yes, I'd pay good [G#m] wages [B] and transportation [C#m] too
If you all agreed [A] to work for [E] me until the [B] season's through
[C#m] But if you get [A] dissatisfied [E] and head back [F#] for your home
[C#m] Most likely you will [G#] starve to death [B] on the plains of the [C#m] Buffalo
With [F#]
[C#m] all this flattering [G#] talking [B] he signed up quite [C#m] a train
With Navy Six [A] and Needle Gun, [E] seven able [B]-bodied men
Our [C#m] wait [A] was a pleasant [E] one as we hit the [F#] Westwood Road
[C#] And on across [G#m] old Boggy [B] Creek into New [C#m] Mexico
There our pleasures [G#] ended and [B] our troubles all [C#m] began
The hardships [E] of those summer months would break the strongest [B] man
For [C#] our skinning the herd [A] of Buffalo, [E] our lives they were [F#] so low
[C#] Without laws watching [G#] to pick us off [B] in the hills of [C#m] Mexico
By the working season [G#] ended [B] and Cringo he [C#m] did say
You all have drunk [A] too much, [E] there's only no [B] more pay
But [C#m] the cowboys never [A] had heard [E] such a thing as a bankrupt [F#] law
[C#m] So he left that [G#] drover's [G#m] bones to bleach [B] on the plains of the [C#m] Buffalo
