Thread Name: Origins: Buffalo Gals
Subject: RE: Help: Buffalo Gals
As well as 'Round Town Girl(s)/Gals', 'Alabama Girl' etc mentioned above, it was also recorded under titles such as 'Ain't You/Ya/She Comin' Out Tonight' (Vernon Dalhart, Bill Boyd'), 'Dance In the Light of the Moon' (Emmett and Aiken String Band), 'Maxwell Girl' (Aulton Ray), 'Brownstown Girl' (Kessinger Brothers), 'Arkansas Girl' (Bob Miller and His Hinky Dinkers). The very popular 'Dance All Night (With a Bottle in Your Hand)' tune, originating in Georgia, is possibly derived from 'Buffalo Gals'. [Info from Meade, Spottswood, Meade biblio-discography).
