  			Chorus: 
D                                   A 
Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow, 
G                           D 
Kick off your shoes and you throw'em on the floor. 
                        A 
Dance in kitchen to the morning light, 
G        A        D 
Lousiana Saturday Night. 
 
 
D                        A 
Waitin in the front yard sittin on a log, 
  G                       D 
A single shot rifle and a one eyed dog. 
                         A 
Yonder come the kinfolks in the moonlight, 
G        A        D 
Lousiana Saturday Night. 
 
Sing Chorus 
 
D                      A 
My brother Bill and my other brother Jack, 
  G                        D 
A belly full of beer and a possum on the sack. 
                   A 
Fifteen kids and a front porch light, 
G        A        D 
Lousiana Saturday Night. 
 
Sing Chorus 
 
D                              A 
When the kinfolk leave and the kids get fed, 
G                     D 
Me and my women gonna sneak off to bed. 
                                A 
We'll have a little fun when we turn out the lights, 
G        A        D 
Lousiana Saturday Night.
