Well, you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor
Dance in the kitchen till the morning light
Louisiana Saturday night

A waitin' in the front yard sittin' on a log
Single shot rifle and a one eyed dog
Yonder come a kin folks in the moonlight
Louisiana Saturday night

Well you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow

My brother Bill and my other brother Jack
Belly full of beer and possum in the sack
Fifteen kids in front porch light
Louisiana Saturday night

When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed
Me and my woman gonna slip off to bed
Have a little fun when we turn out the lights
Louisiana Saturday night

Well, you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow
Yeah, you git down the fiddle and you git down the bow

Git down the fiddle and you git down the bow
