Eliza Gilkyson - Buffalo Gals
INTRO: G  
I pulled out of Cheyenne, my steam in my kettle
And my Ddancing shoes, Gpeddle to the metal
Gotta make it to Washakie 'fore the sun starts to set
So I can Ddance by the light of the Gmoon
Buffalo Dgals and Gpony boys
It's a Dcongregating down in Gold Dubois
EmCowboys Dcoming down to Gmake some noise
At the DWind River RendezGvous
I Emdanced with a Dguy with a Ghole in his stocking
And his Dheels kept rocking, his Gtoes kept knocking
ToEmmorrow Dmorning better Gdo some talking
'Cause we Ddanced by the light of the Gmoon
CHORUS:
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
DCome out tonight, Gcome out tonight
EmBuffalo Dgals won't you Gcome out tonight
And Ddance by the light of the Gmoon
INSTRUMENTAL:    G    D    G   Em   D    G    D    G  
I Emdanced with a Dguy whose Gspurs were a-jingling
And the Dsparks were flying, Gelbows flinging
ToEmmorrow Dmorn' his head'll Gstill be ringing
'Cause we Ddanced by the light of the Gmoon
INSTRUMENTAL:  G   D    G    Am    D   G   D    G   Am   D    G      D   G    D      G   Am   D  G  
BRIDGE:
Jakey's Fork, the wind is blowing
There's fire up in the sky
In the evening I dream I fly over you
On the very day that I die
On the Dvery day that I Gdie
CHORUS:
Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight
DCome out tonight, Gcome out tonight
EmBuffalo Dgals won't you Gcome out tonight
And Ddance by the light of the Gmoon
And Ddance by the light of the Gmoon
And Ddance by the light of the GmoonD  G
