Uncle Emmel's been gone now nearly ten days Told his wife he'd be gone for the fishin But in the waters off St. Pierre and Miquelon Isles The fishes come in bottles of gold If the Anne-Marie don't break and the Mounties stay blind, he'll be back before the moon is risin With a very fine catch all safe in the hold Thirty cases of Trinidad Light For Acadian Saturday Night
Now Emmiline Comeu works at the general store Papa says it's good for the custom She's got eyes like fire and hair past her shoulders As shiny black as ant'racite coal You can see her sunday morning on St. Phillipe Road Her momma close behind like a dragon But her momma don't know what she does behind the hall Away from the music and the light On Acadian Saturday Night
And it's oh ho, don't the fiddle make you roll? Your heart, she'd pound like a hammer There's a fat lady beatin the piano like a drum And everybody's higher than a kite On Acadian Saturday Night
Now Granpa says it was better in his day The Mounties stayed away from the parties And they didn't mind a fight when the spirits got high You could always throw em out in the snow And the rum was better and it came in bigger bottles And the revenue cutters were slow, Still the old Anne-Marie has wings on the water And there's nothin like Trinidad Light On Acadian Saturday Night
And it's oh ho, don't the fiddle make you roll? Your heart she'd pound like a hammer There's a fat lady beatin the piano like a drum And everybody's higher than a kite And it's oh ho, don't the fiddle make you roll? Your heart she'd pound like a hammer There's a fat lady beatin the piano like a drum And everybody's higher than a kite On Acadian Saturday NightTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
