(also see Alabama Gals)
As I was walking down the street,
Down the street, down the street
A pretty little gal I chanced to meet
And we danced by the light of the moon.
Chorus:
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
Come out tonight, come out tonight
Buffalo gals wont you come out tonight
And we'll dance by the light of the moon.
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stocking
And her knees was a-knockin' and her shoes was a'rockin'
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stocking
And we danced by the light of the moon
Now I got a gal with a wart on her chin
Toes turned out and her eyes turned in
Purtey good gal for the shape she's in
And we danced by the light of the moon.
She's the prettiest little gal I've seen in my life
Seen in my life, seen in my life
And I wished to the Lord she'd be my wife
And we danced by the light of the moon.
I got a gal at the top of the hill
Top of the hill, at the top of the hill
She's a moonshiner's daughter
And I love her still
Tell me won't you come out tonight
I asked her would she'd stop and talk,
Stop and talk, stop and talk,
Her feet covered up de whole sidewalk,
As she stood close to me.
