- 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.

- 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 goin’ – git a goin’.
- Shake out your feet or you’ll miss the fun,
- A rollin’ down the line.

- 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.
