Thread Name: Origins: Buffalo Skinners
Subject: ADDPOP: Buffalo Skinners (from Big Country)
Here are the lyrics (uncorrected) of "Buffalo Skinners," as recorded by Big Country. I don't know the name of the songwriter.
"Buffalo Skinners"
Out beyond the river where you and I would ride We would skin the buffalo, the last ones left alive But once again it passed me by, I know it always will So now I spend my Sunday standing still
Sure we could have We could have got it right Sure we could have We could have got it right
And somewhere she is calling out on a scarlet plain But I no longer hear her, I grew out of those games I never skinned a buffalo, I never even killed That's why I spend my Sunday standing still
Sure we could have We could have got it right Sure we could have We could have got it right
Sure we could have We could have got it right Sure we could have We could have got it right
Sure we could have We could have got it right Sure we could have We could have got it right
Sure we could have We could have got it right Sure we could have We could have got it right
