Buffalo Gals
Traditional

As I was walking down the street, Down the street, down the street,
A pretty girl I chanced to meet
And she was fair to see
Buffalo Gals, won’t ya come out tonight,
Won’t ya come out tonight,
Won’t ya come out tonight?
Buffalo Gals, won’t ya come out tonight,
And dance by the light of the moon?
I asked her if she'd stop and talk,
Stop and talk, stop and talk,
Her feet covered up the whole sidewalk,
As she stood
close by me
I asked her if she'd stop and dance,
Have a dance, care to dance
I thought that I might get a chance
To shake a foot with her.
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin',
And her heel kept a-rockin' and her knees kept a-knockin',
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin',
And we danced by the light of the moon.
Danced with a girl with freckles on her face
Freckles on her face, freckles on her face
Found out later they were most ever place
We danced by the light of the moon
I asked her if she'd be my wife,
She'd be my wife, she'd be my wife,
Then I'd be happy all my life if she'd marry me.
