It happened in Jacksboro, boys,

in the year of seventy -three
D#m

When a man by the name of Crego
G#m
D#m

came stepping up to me
F#
B
Says, how do you do, young fellow,
G#m
B
G#m
and how would you like to go?
G#
B
And spend one summer pleasantly
G#m
B
on the range of the buffalo
G#m
B
It's me being out of employment,
G#
B
boys, this to Crego I did say.
This going out on the Buffalo Range
G#m
depends upon the pay.
B
But if you will pay good wages,
G#m
B
G#
G#m
pay transportation too.
G#
G#m
B
G#m
G#
I think sir I will go with you
D#m
B
to the range of the buffalo
G#
yes I will pay good wages
B
boys this old Krigo he did say
F#

provided you will go with me
G#

and stay the summer through
G#

G#
but if you should grow homesick
D#m

come back to Jacksboro.

I will not pay your transportation
B
from the range of the Buffalo.

F#
It's now we've
G#
crossed Pease River boys,
The first damn tail I went to rip,
G#m
D#m
B
G#m
Christ how I cut my thumb.
B
Pease River is salty as held fire,
G#
D#m
B
the water I could never go.
G#
B
D#m
G#
And the engines watched to pick us off
D#m
B
on the range of the buffalo.
D#m
G#m
Our meat, it was buffalo hock
D#m
B
and iron wage bread.
G#m
B
And all we had to sleep on
G#
D#m
F#
was a buffalo robe for a bed.
G#m
B
The fleas and graybacks work on us.
G#m
F#
D#m
B
G#m
Oh, boys, they are not slow.
G#
B
I'll say there's no worse hell on earth
than the range of the buffalo.
G#m
B
G#m
The season being ended, boys,
B
this old Krigo he did say
that we had been extravagant.
G#m
D#m
We're in debt to him that day,
F#
B
we coaxed him and we begged him,
G#
B
but still it was no go.
G#m
F#
G#
We left his damned old bones to bleach
B
on the range of the buffalo.
F#
B
G#
An d now we've crossed these river
boys
B
and homeward we are bound.
No more in that hell -fired country
F#
B
will ever we be found.
Go back to our wives and sweethearts,
F#
D#m
B
G#
tell others not to go.
F#
B
G#m
For God's forsaken that Buffalo Range
B
F#
and the damned old Buffalo.
