Lyrics & Information
Taken from the outstanding 'Shades of a Blue Orphanage' album. Phil and the lads were only about 23 when this was released. Quite astonishing. This is the second track from the album and follows an unusual but wonderful 3/4 shuffle timing which Lizzy favoured on their early stuff. I just absolutely love Downey's complex drumming. Gotta be one of my faves and the first song that I ever heard by Thin Lizzy.
Lyrics :-
[Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo]
Buffalo gal
You've had your fun
Your button's undone
Every town's ripe with slaughter
Buffalo gal
You're thirsty and there's no more water
Like the lamb on the altar
And it's sad to see ya lookin down and feeling blue
Try your best to get on up and see it through
In a while you might smile and see the sun
Ohh the day has begun
And Buffalo Gal
They're closin' down the ole dance hall
Hmm, Buffalo Gal
What we gonna do now, oh?
Buffalo Gal!
Due to these circumstances
There's no more dances
Buffalo Gal!
All your chances of further romances
Will have to be nil
'Til I can get it sung
Is a shame, your only claim to fame is Jessie James
You know his middle name
That's very strange
Stranger!
You know a friend called the Friendly Ranger!
Oh, you shared the pain din'tcha
And Buffalo Gal
They're closin' down the old dance hall
Hmm Buffalo Gal
What we gonna do now oh?
[Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo]
Buffalo Gal
You gotta try a big step
You've got a big jump ahead
Buffalo Gal
The show left town!
Spread, sunshine all around
And it's bad to see ya, ohh lookin' blue
Dry your eyes and I'll apologise for all the lies
Try a smile, and in a while just in a while
You'll be smilling through
Ohh Buffalo Gal
The'yre closin down the ole dance hall
And Buffalo Gal
Oh, you look so good to me now
Ohh Buffalo Gal!
Ooh, thats such a pretty dress
Buffalo Gal!
The show left town
Buffalo Gal! (Take a picture!)
Ohh Buffalo Gal
