Well, I've been here for a million years |
|
Got a ton or two of flesh and flies round my ears |
|
I've got a name and I can see you don't know |
|
So I guess I'd better tell you, I'm the buffalo |
|
Don't smoke no reefer, don't take no pills |
|
Got a head like a rock and a bottom like a hill |
|
Don't think about much that bears translating |
|
Except buffalo love and ruminating |
|
Buffalo wanting some answers |
|
Buffalo want you explain |
|
Buffalo seek explanation |
|
Don't know nothing, it's a buffalo shame |
|
Just sit around trying to take buffalo feed |
|
Looked up, swallowed down, started to bleed |
|
Men with metal sticks make an awful lot of noise |
|
Don't care what it is but dear it destroys |
|
Buffalo falling in tens of thousands |
|
Buffalo falling like rain |
|
Buffalo falling and lowing and dying |
|
Buffalo ending, it's a buffalo shame |
|
Don't know what for they want to shoot us down |
|
We stay out of trouble, stay out of town |
|
Don't be chasing their women, don't rob their trains |
|
Just stand around grazing on the Western Plains |
|
Some men do it because they want to |
|
Seeking for fortune and fame |
|
Other men do it because they're told to |
|
Rot their eyes, still a buffalo shame |
|
Buffalo shame |
|
Buffalo shame |
|
Buffalo shame |
