All Night Long

Every Saturday, long about now
I feed my chickens and my milking cows
Air's fillin' up with music and song
Gonna have a party all night long

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 single tree

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 vine
Said, keep out, I couldn't read that sign
Gun went off and I 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
