Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
A E7 A
It was in the town of Griffin in the year of '83
It was there an old cow-puncher stepped up and said to me
A
How do you do young fellow and how would you like to go
E7 A
And spend a pleasant summer out in New Mexico
[Verse 2]
E7 A
I'll furnish you good wages your transportation too
If you will but go with me one summer season's through
A
But if you grow homesick and back to Griffin go
E7 A
I'll furnish you no horses from the hills of Mexico
[Verse 3]
E7 A
Well we left the town of Griffin in the merry month of May
When everything seemed lovely and everything seemed gay
A
With saddles on our horses marching onward we did go
E7 A
Until we reached Old Boggy out in New Mexico
[Verse 4]
E7 A
It was there our pleasures ended and our troubles they began
Oh the first hailstorm came on us oh how those cattle ran
A
Through all kinds of thorns and thistles the cowboys had to go
E7 A
While the Indians watched upon us out in New Mexico
[Verse 5]
E7 A
And when the drive was over the rider would not pay
To all you good-lookin' people this much I have to say
A
Go back to your friends and loved ones tell others not to go
E7 A
To the God-forsaken country they call New Mexico
