As I was walking down the street, Down the street, down the street, A handsome gal I chanced to meet, Oh, she was fair to view.
CHORUS:
Buffalo Gal, won't you come out tonight, Come out tonight, come out tonight. Buffalo Gal, won't you come out tonight And dance by the light of the moon.
I asked her if she'd have a talk, Have a talk, have a talk, Her feet took up the whole sidewalk, As she stood close to me.
I asked her, "Would she wanna dance? Wanna dance? Wanna dance?" I thought that I might have a chance To shake a foot with her.
I danced with the gal with a hole in her stockin', And her hip kept a-rockin', and her toes kept a-knockin' I danced with the gal with a hole in her stockin' And we danced by the light of the moon.
Well, I wanted to make that gal my wife, Gal my wife, gal my wife. Then I'd be happy all my life, If i have her with me.
