What is the origin of the song Buffalo gals won't you come out tonight?

Buffalo Gals originated as a tavern or drinking song sung by construction workers and others streaming into Buffalo, NY at the time of the building of the Erie Canal. Buffalo was the eastern terminus of the Canal. Buffalo Gals refers to the town prostitutes, drawn by the large concentration of men. The song implores these ladies of the night to come out and make themselves known to the men and ready to party (and sell sex).
Funny , isn't it. This song was published in many elementary school age songbooks of the 1950's. I know it was in my elementary school's songbook because we learned to sing it in class.
I seriously doubt that 99% of the school music teachers back then had any idea of the real meaning of the song. (Yes kids, back then there were music teachers that came around to the schools every week or so, to teach us to sing.
