The song was widely popular throughout the United States, where minstrels often altered the lyrics to suit local audiences, performing it as “New York Gals” in New York City, “Boston Gals” in Boston, or “Alabama Girls” in Alabama, as in the version recorded by Alan Lomax and Shirley Collins on a 1959 field recording trip. The best-known version is named after Buffalo, New York.

Who said that dreams don’t come true?
Who said that skies aren’t blue?
Who said that wishes we make are always in vain?
Who said that love isn’t all?
Who said that stars never fall?
Who said that roses don’t bloom down Lovers’ Lane?
Bud Abbott: He went clear through to China!
[Verse]
I wish the giant were alive
Alive this very minute
To look inside his grave and see
How lovely he looks in it
Sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah
And you’ll shoo the blues away
Cares pursue ya, Hallelujah!
Gets you through the darkest day

Too late now to forget your smile
The way we cling when we’ve danced a while
Too late now to forget and go on to someone new
There’s a kind o’ walk you walk
When the world’s undone you,
There’s a kind o’ walk you walk
When you’re walking proud
