THE BUFFALOS, Regimental Songs of the 9th & 10th Cavalries

---

The soldier married the Buffalo's sister
Smacked his lips and then he kissed her
Kissed so hard he raised a blister
But it soon got well

Then she put on some court-plaster
Stuck so hard it couldn't stick faster
Surely was a great disaster
But it soon got well

REGIMENTAL SONG OF THE 10th CAVALRY

We're fighting bulls of the Buffaloes,
Git a goin' - git a goin'
From Kansas' plains we'll hunt our foes;
A trottin' down the line.
Our range spreads west to Santa Fe,
Git a goin' - git a goin',
From Dakota down the Mexican way;
A trottin' down the line.

[CHORUS]
Goin' to drill all day
Goin' to drill all night,
We got our money on the Buffaloes,
Somebody bet on the fight.

Pack up your saddle and make it light.
Git a rollin' - git a rollin'.
You are training fast for a hard fight;
A rollin' down the line.
Untie your horse and boot and gun,
Git a rollin' - git a rollin'.
Shake out your feet or you'll miss the fun,
A rollin' down the line.

[CHORUS]

It's Troops in line for the Buffaloes,
Git a movin' - git a movin'.
Then Squadron mass when the bugle blows;
A movin' into line.
Pull in your reins and sit your horse,
Git a movin' - git a movin'.
If you can't ride you'll be a corpse;
A movin' into line.

[CHORUS]
