The Buffalo
 
          While grazin' quietly a man I see
            so I watch him, as he watches me
             the question bein' who's gonna flee!
             I guess he will 'cuz I'm that big
           but I can't stand his feathered wig.
 
            So I'll just blow me, lots of snot
             and watch his pony spook a lot
Well! it bucks to the West, lands in the East
              for I the buffalo, am a mighty beast.
             Brown and hairy, but do I care
             these northern plains, I will not share
 
          but! go young Indian do not fear
          as your painted pony starts to rear.
             I shall let you live to tell the tale
           brave young Warrior who's face is pale
 
          as the sunset fades over mountains yonder
          I can't help but to look and wonder
           why the painted pony stands quiet and proud
             beneath western skies without a cloud
 
              but then I see,
           in the Warrior's eyes,
            sad tears have filled
             for I the buffalo, shall be killed.
