As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street

A pretty girl I chanced to meet, under the silvery moon.

REFRAIN: Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight,

Buffalo gals, won’t you 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, she was fair to view.

REFRAIN: Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight,

Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon.

I asked her if she’d be my wife, be my wife, be my wife

Then I’d be happy all my life, if she’d marry me.

REFRAIN
