As I was lumb'ring down de street, down de street, down de street, A handsome gal I chanc'd to meet; Oh! she was fair to view. Buffalo gals, cant you come out tonight? cant you come out tonight? cant you come out tonight? Buffalo gals, cant you come out tonight? And dance by de light ob de moon. I ax'd her would she hab some talk, hab some talk, hab some talk, Her feet cover'd up de whole sidewalk As she stood close by me. I ax'd her would she hab a dance, hab a dance, hab a dance, I taught dat I might get a chance, To shake a foot wid her. I'd like to make dat gal my wife, gal my wife, gal my wife, I'd be happy all my life, If I had her by me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
