Waitin' in the front yard sittin' on a log single shot rifle and a one eyed dog
Yonder comes a kin folks in the moonlight a Louisiana Saturday night
Hey git down the fiddle and you git down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em in the floor
Dance in the kitchen till the morning light a Louisiana Saturday night

My brother Bill and my other brother Jack belly full of beer and a possum in a sack
Fifteen kids in front porch light a Louisiana Saturday night
Hey git down the fiddle...

When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed
Me and my woman gonna sneak off to bed
Have a little fun when we turn out the light a Louisiana Saturday night
Hey git down the fiddle...
