Louisiana Saturday Night (1967)
Louisiana Saturday night everybody feeling alright
There ain’t nothing like a Louisiana Saturday night

Well if it’s one of those night a night that’s happy and white
If you poled the pirogue you’ve come from many a mile
If you’re singing a song feast on gravy and rice
I know what that is a Louisiana Saturday night

Louisiana Saturday night everybody feeling alright
There ain’t nothing like a Louisiana Saturday night

If it’s one of those nights everybody go hog wild
All the pretty girls you see wearing pretty Cajun smiles
The fiddle and accordion play the notes sound happy and bright
I know what that is a Louisiana Saturday night

Louisiana Saturday night everybody feeling alright
There ain’t nothing like a Louisiana Saturday night

We make like the Mardi Gras dance till the broad daylight
We bet all our money then on a dog or a chicken fight
The day after Friday next week everything will be all right
Cause we gonna have us another Louisiana Saturday night

Louisiana Saturday night everybody feeling alright
There ain’t nothing like a Louisiana Saturday night
