Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log

Single shot rifle and a one-eyed dog

Yonder come my kin folk in the moonlight

Louisiana Saturday night



CHORUS:

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 the morning light

Louisiana Saturday night



My brother Bill and my other brother Jack

Belly full of beer and a possum in the sack

Fifteen kids in the front porch light

Louisiana Saturday night



When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed

Me and my woman gonna sneak of to bed

Have a little fun when we turn off the light

Louisiana Saturday night
