The Ballad of a Buffalo Bill

[Verse 1] Buffalo Bill Movin' west on a slow white bronco Through the plains With a reckless heart of gold He rode the trails Huntin' fame and fortune But little did they know the darkness in his soul [Verse 2] Two people fell to the swift blade of his knife In the pale moonlight Their cries echoed in the night But Buffalo Bill He wore a deceptive smile Underneath it all The demons danced wild [Chorus] Oh Buffalo Bill Ridin' on that slow bronco They couldn't catch him Though that horse was slow He rode with rage But found peace as he died His name forever etched in the history of the wild [Verse 5] One fateful night, in a post game brawl, Bill's temper flared, his girl took a fall. The gloves he wore, too tight for his hands, As hair flew wild, and blood changed hands. [Chorus] Oh Buffalo Bill Ridin' on that slow bronco They couldn't catch him Though that horse was slow He rode with rage But found peace as he died His name forever etched in the history of the wild [Verse 6] With lawmen on his tail, in the light of the moon, Bill spurred his bronco, hoping to elude the doom. With six shooter at his head, the chase did ensue, But that slow white bronco, it knew what to do. [Verse 7] The stars bore witness, to the chase in the night, As Bill rode on, with all of his might. Through canyons and valleys, he raced with no fear, His fate uncertain, as dawn drew near. [Chorus] Oh Buffalo Bill Ridin' on that slow bronco They couldn't catch him Though that horse was slow He rode with rage But found peace as he died His name forever etched in the history of the wild [Outro] So here's to Buffalo Bill And the journey he made From darkness to light On that slow bronco's sway Though his name may be tarnished His story will live on In the hearts of those who seek America 'neath the western sun
