Key of C
[Intro] (x2) C G C G
[Verse]
[C] As I was walking down the street,
[G] Down the street, [C] down the street,
[C] A pretty little gal I chanced to meet,
[G] Oh, she was so [C] fair.
[Chorus]
[C] Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
[G] Come out tonight, [C] come out tonight.
[C] Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
[G] And dance by the light of the [C] moon.
[Verse]
[C] I stopped her and we had a talk,
[G] Had a talk, [C] had a talk,
[C] Her feet took up the whole sidewalk
[G] And left no room for [C] me.
[Chorus]
[Verse]
[C] I asked her if she'd have a dance,
[G] Have a dance, [C] have a dance,
[C] I thought that I might have a chance
[G] To shake a foot with [C] her.
[Chorus]
[Verse]
[C] I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin',
[G] And her heel kept a-knockin', [C] and her toes kept a-rockin'
[C] I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin'
[G] And we danced by the light of the [C] moon.
[Chorus]
She was the prettiest gal in my whole life, my whole life, my whole life . . . And I wished to the Lord she’d be my wife, then we would part no more – – – [CHORUS]
Oh, yes, dear boy, I’ll come tonight, come tonight, come tonight. Oh, yes, dear boy, I’ll come tonight, and we’ll dance by the light of the moon – – – [CHORUS]
