Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor Dance in the kitchen 'til morning light Louisiana Saturday night Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log Single-shot rifle and a one-eyed dog Yonder come the kinfolk, in the moonlight Louisiana Saturday night My brother Bill and my other brother Jack Belly full of beer and a possum in a sack Fifteen kids in the front porch light Louisiana Saturday night Kin folks leave and the kids get fed Me and my woman, gonna sneak off to bed We'll have a little fun when we turn out the light Louisiana Saturday night
