It's Saturday night and my daddy's up late pickin' with my uncle Bill The neighbors don't mind cause they have a good time sippin' on my pappy's still Old brother Ben got a fiddle in his hands and mama's on the mandolin When the music is right and the band is tight you want to see 'em pick and grin Well everybody starts movin' to the sound of the guitar strums Everybody starts groovin' to the beat of the rhythm and drums So come on along get yourself really on rock to the music and fun Sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song Old sheriff Brown whenever comes around knockin' on a cold backdoor It's a matter of fact you can find him outback pickin' on his old banjo My brother Jack sneaks out from the back tryin' to get to sister Sue Watch him closin' on the ground about turnin' around she knows a little jujitsu Everybody starts movin'... Everybody starts movin'... Just sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song
