G C G
1) With his beard hanging down, and his eyes all
ablaze,
C
One horn is all crooked, from his younger days,
G
With his tail all ragged, and just about bare,
D D7 C D G
He's old as the hills but still hangin' in there.
(Chorus I ):
C G
Baxter the Buffalo, he's got a big head,But he's kind
of slow,
D C D C D G
He don't care, if it's rainin' or snow, He's Baxter the
Buffalo.
2) When the young ones come �round, wanting to play,
Butting their heads, and pawing the clay
He'll tell them the stories, the places and names,
When the herd was a million and roaming the plains.
(Repeat Chorus I)
3) He's keeping an eye on the cows of the herd,
There's a hefty ol' Moma, she makes his heart stir,
He adoringly follows wherever she goes
He calls her his sweetie, it's Beatrice the buffalo.
Chorus II:
Beatrice the buffalo, to her ol' Baxter is a Romeo,
She don't care, if it's rainin' or snow,
She's Beatrice the buffalo.
4) She's as wise as an owl, and all the herd knows,
She can lead them to food, when it's covered in snow.
Just look for her tracks, she'll have been there,
With her fur full of ice-balls, and frost in her hair.
(Repeat Chorus II)
4) She's as wise as an owl, and all the herd knows,
She can lead them to food, when it's covered in snow.
Just look for her tracks, she'll have been there,
With her fur full of ice-balls, and frost in her hair.
(Repeat Chorus II)
5) Now she's had her bath, and she's quite content,
There's a bird on her shoulder, it ain't paying no
rent,
Baxter is rolling and singing his song,
And lovely Beatrice just bellows along.
Final Chorus:
Baxter and Beatrice know, they'll follow each other
Wherever they go,
They don't care, if it's rainin' or snow,
It's true love for a buffalo.
It's true love for a buffalo.
For Baxter and Beatrice, it's true love for a buffalo.
