SHOOT THE BUFFALO (Square Dance) Sung by: Dot Metcalf Recorded in Evening Shade, AR 8/25/57 Click here to listen to the original recording Present to me your hand. I'll march you in procession Through a far and distant land, Where the hawk shot the buzzard And the buzzard shot the crow. Rally in the canebrake And shoot the buffalo, And shoot the buffalo, Shoot the buffalo. Rally in the canebrake And shoot the buffalo. Cornstalk fiddle and a peavine bow, You shoot the turkey and I'll shoot the crow. And we'll shoot the buffalo, Shoot the buffalo. Rally in the canebrake And shoot the buffalo. Know I killed him dead, For I shot him in the head; Hauled him to the graveyard And buried him with the dead. Randolph, Vol. III, #523; Brown, Vol. III, #77. |
