The baby buffalo
I shot in the knee
It didn't make a noise
But boy did it bleed
With eyes wide open
And without a sound
It hit the ground
The baby buffalo
Wide-eyed in awe
As I stuck my pistol to its face
And shot away its jaw
I'll write to his sister
And she wont reply
He's a bad man
A good guy
This is a love song
A comrade's decree
It's about those rays of sunshine
As he hung in that tree
My best friend is gone
And those beasts are gone too
I'm just left with these bullets and bourbon
And memories of you
This is a love song
A goddamn decree
It's about those rays of sunshine
As he hung in that tree
My best friend is gone
And those beasts are gone too
I'm just left with these bullets and bourbon
And memories of you
