MAXWELL GIRL. AKA and see "Buffalo Gals (1)." Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was recorded by Taylor's Kentucky Boys. They were one of the few bands with both white and black musicians, as they included African-American brothers Jim, John and Joe Booker. Jim Booker, a fiddler, was born around 1872, and played with Marion Underwood on banjo and Willie Young on guitar, and, on some sides, Aulton Ray on vocals. "Maxwell Girl" is a retitling of "Buffalo Gals (1)," with "Maxwell" substituting for "Buffalo":
Maxwell Girl won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight;
Maxwell Girl won't you come out tonight,
And dance by the light of the moon.
