Now let us tipple, and dance the double shuffle,
Why don't you dance up to that entire stranger?
The same line, "Dance up to that entire stranger" is found in the first stanza with the last line from "Buffalo Gals."

Madam I have Gold and Silver- communicated in 1911 by G. C. Broadhead of Columbia, Missouri was published in Belden's "Ballads & Songs" pp. 506-507.
Dance up to that entire stranger
With the sunflower on her shoulder.
Now to the girl with the yellow cloak
And the hole in the heel of her stocking.
'Madam, I have gold and silver,
Madam, I have house and lands,
Madam, I have a worlds of treasure,
All I want is your fair hand."
"What care I for your gold and your silver,
What care I for your house and land,
What care I for your world of treasure,
All I want is a handsome man.
