D                          A
A-waitin' in the front yard, sittin' on a log
  G                       D
A single shot rifle and a one eyed dog
D                        A
Yonder come the kinfolk, in the moonlight,
G         A          D
Louisiana Saturday night.

[Chorus]
          D                           A
Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
G                           D
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em on the floor
D                             A
Dance in the kitchen till the mornin' light
G         A          D
Louisiana Saturday night

[Verse 2]
D                      A
My brother Bill and my other brother Jack
G                        D
Belly full of beer and a possum in a sack
D                   A
Fifteen kids in the front porch light
G         A          D
Louisiana Saturday night

[Verse 3]
         D                     A
When the kinfolk leave and the kids get fed
G                     D
Me and my woman gonna slip off to bed
D                         A
Have a little fun when we turn out the light
     G         A         D
It's Louisiana Saturday night

[Chorus]
          D                           A
Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
G                           D
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em on the floor
D                             A
Dance in the kitchen till the mornin' light
G         A          D
Louisiana Saturday night

          D                           A
Yeah, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
G                           D
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em on the floor
D                             A
Dance in the kitchen till the mornin' light
G         A          D

Get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
G                           D
Kick off your shoes and you throw 'em on the floor
D                             A
Dance in the kitchen till the mornin' light
G         A          D
