[D] [Em]
Come all you good time [C] cowboys [D] and listen [Em] to my song.
I will not make you weary, [E]
I'll [C#m] not [Em] detain you long.
Concerning some wild cowboys who did agree [G] to go
summer [G] pleasant [A] on the hunt of the [Em] buffalo.
I found myself in Griffin [A] in the spring of [Em] 83
when a well known famous drover he [D] came a walking up to [Em] me

_ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Come all you good time [C] cowboys _ _ [D] and listen [Em] to my song. _ _ _
I will not make you weary, _ [E]
I'll [C#m] not [Em] detain you _ long. _ _
_ Concerning some wild _ cowboys who did agree [G] to go
_ _ [Em] spend the summer [G] pleasant [A] on the hunt of the [Em] buffalo. _
I _ _ _ _ found myself in Griffin [A] in the spring of [Em] 83 _
_ when a well known famous drover he [D] came a walking up to [Em] me _ _ _
said how'd you do young fellow, _ _ how'd you like to [D] go
_ [E] spend the [C] summer pleasant [D] on the hunt of the [Em] buffalo.
_ _ _ _ Well me [G#] being out of work right then [D] to the drover I [Em] did say
_ going out on your buffalo road [A] depends upon [Em] your pay.
_ _ _ But if you pay good [E] wages, transportation to and [Dm] fro
_ [G] _
_ [Em] I think I might go [C] with you [D] on the hunt of [B] the buffalo.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[E] Said of course we pay good wages and transportation too
_ if you agree to work with me until the [E] season's through. _
But if you do get homesick _ and you try to run [G] away
_ _ _ [Em] you'll starve to death out [G] on that trail _ [E] and also lose [Em] your pay. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ Well with all that [C] flattering talking [G] _ he [A] signed up [Em] quite a train
some ten or twelve [G] in number, _
[F#m] all able bodied [Em] men. _ _ _
_ _ A trip it was a pleasant one _ _ as we hit that [G] westward road
at _ _ least [E] until we crossed [C] old Boggy Creek [E] and old New [Em] Mexico.
_ It was there our pleasures [G] ended, _ our troubles all [Em] begun.
_ _ A lightning storm it hit us, it made all our horses run
it _ _ _ got all full of stickers from the cactus [G] that did [D] grow. _ _ _ _
And [Em] the outlaws watched [C] to pick us up [D] from the hills of [Em] Mexico.

_ [F#m] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ Now our working season it [C] ended [D] but the drover would [Em] not pay.
_ _ He said you drank up all your wages boys you're all [F#m] in debt [Em] to me.
_ _ [E] But _ _ [Em] those cowboys never had heard of such a thing as that old bankrupt law.
_ _ _ _ They left that drover's [C] bones to bleach [A] on the _ _ _ _ hills of Mexico. _
