(Duet with Merle Haggard)
Every Saturday long about now
I feed my chickens and my milking cow
Air's fillin' up with music and song
Gonna have a party all night long
(Chorus)
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
I got a gal lives across the creek
Every time i look at her my knees get weak
First time I tried to take her on my knee
She took after me with a singletree
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
Sun's up high the Fourth of July
Chickens won't lay and the cow's gone dry
Creek's dried up, I can't go fishin'
Should be workin' 'stead of sittin' here wishin'
Big watermelon hangin' on the wine
Said "Keep out" I couldn't read that sign
Gun went off and started to run
Left that watermelon in the sun
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
Sun's comin' up, the rooster's crowin'
Fiddler's gone, I got to be goin'
Back to the house across the creek
But we'll be back at the end of the week
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
