Lyrics
I had a friend and his name was Joe,
And we went a-herdin’ cows when the sun was low,
The cattle stampeded and we couldn’t get ahead,
Now my friend Joe is dead.

Chorus:
Oh see them buzzards, see them buzzards flyin’ low,
Oh see them buzzards flyin’ over Joe,
Oh shoot them buzzards, shoot them buzzards flyin’ round,
And bury poor Joe in the ground.

My leg is broken and I can’t get away,
But the boys will be here by the end of the day;
It won’t help Joe, as he lies on the ground,
Where a big Longhorn knocked him down.

Chorus:

Joe had a girl and she was true,
When she hears about this, she won’t know what to do;
She loved him well in her simple way,
If she were here she would say:

Chorus
