Buffalo Gals

Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer of DC play Buffalo Gals (with bits of a different song) on two banjos in G.

Two parts. Can be sung in any key but it is usually fiddled in G or A. It is also called Round Town Gals (or Girls). There is an old time version that is a little different.

Old Time Buffalo Gals, slightly different tune in key of A.

Background

Wikipedia history of the song. Jimmy Stuart sung it in the garden scene of this movie. The novel is by Ursula Le Guin [amazon]. Square dance on the Lawrence Welk show [utoob].

Lyrics

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.
