What’s it all About?

“Buffalo Gals” has its roots as an African American dance song that was then performed in minstrel shows during the 1800s under different names, such as “Bowery Girls”. “Buffalo” likely refers to Buffalo, New York. Today, it also appears under the titles  “Round Town Gals” and “Midnight Serenade”. The lyrics are about dancing with a girl who the narrator meets and falls in love with.
