Verse 
G 
As I was walking down the street, 
D                 G 
Down the street, down the street, 
G 
A pretty little gal I chanced to meet, 
D               G 
Oh, she was so fair. 
 
G 
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight, 
D                 G 
Come out tonight, come out tonight. 
G 
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight

And dance by the light of the moon. 

Verse 
G 
I stopped her and we had a talk, 
D           G 
Had a talk, had a talk, 
G 
Her feet took up the whole sidewalk 
D                   G 
And left no room for me.

Verse 
G 
I asked her if she'd have a dance, 
D             G 
Have a dance, have a dance, 
G 
I thought that I might have a chance 
D                    G 
To shake a foot with her. 

G 
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,

And dance by the light of the moon. 

Verse 
G 
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin', 
D                             G 
And her heel kept a-knockin', and her toes kept a-rockin' 
G 
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin' 
D                                 G 
And we danced by the light of the moon.
