CHASE THE BUFFALO (SHOOT THE BUFFALO) Sung by: James Clifton Ferrell Recorded in Memphis, TN 6/30/63 Click here to listen to the original recording And the buzzard shot the crow, Ramble in the canebrake And chase the buffalo. Chase the buffalo, Chase the buffalo, Ramble in the canebrake And chase the buffalo. Rise you up, my true love And present to me your hand. I know you are a pretty girl, But lost such a man. The hawk shot the buzzard, And the buzzard shot the crow, Ramble in the canebrake And chase the buffalo. (Comment by Mr. Ferrell: "There's quite a few verses of it, but that's all I can remember right now.") Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #523, "Shoot the Buffalo"; Brown, Vol. III, #77, "Shoot the Buffalo." |
