Buffalo Gals Ukulele chords by Pete Seeger

"Buffalo Gals" is a traditional American song, written and
published as "Lubly Fan" in 1844 by the blackface minstrel
John Hodges, who performed as "Cool White." The song was
widely popular throughout the United States. Because of its
popularity, minstrels altered the lyrics to suit the local
audience, so it might be performed as "New York Gals" in New
York City or "Boston Gals" in Boston. The best-known version
is named after Buffalo, New York.

C                                 G7               C
As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street

                                    G7              C
A pretty girl I chanced to meet, un-der the silvery moon.

                                          G7                C
Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight,

                                             G7                        C
Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight and dance by the light of the moon.

                                    G7             C
I asked her if she'd stop and talk, stop and talk, stop and talk,

                                                G7      C
Her feet covered up the whole sidewalk, she was fair to view.


                                 G7          C
I asked her if she'd be my wife, be my wife, be my wife

                                  G7          C
