1
Uncle Emmel's been gone now nearly ten days
2
Told his wife he'd be gone for the fishin
3
But in the waters off St. Pierre and Miquelon Isles
4
The fishes come in bottles of gold
5
If the Anne-Marie don't break and the Mounties stay blind, he'll be back before the moon is risin
6
With a very fine catch all safe in the hold
7
Thirty cases of Trinidad Light
8
For Acadian Saturday Night
9
Now Emmiline Comeu works at the general store
10
Papa says it's good for the custom
11
She's got eyes like fire and hair past her shoulders
12
As shiny black as ant'racite coal
13
You can see her sunday morning on St. Phillipe Road
14
Her momma close behind like a dragon
15
But her momma don't know what she does behind the hall
16
Away from the music and the light
17
On Acadian Saturday Night
18
And it's oh ho, don't the fiddle make you roll?
19
Your heart, she'd pound like a hammer
20
There's a fat lady beatin the piano like a drum
21
And everybody's higher than a kite
22
On Acadian Saturday Night
23
Now Granpa says it was better in his day
24
The Mounties stayed away from the parties
25
And they didn't mind a fight when the spirits got high
26
You could always throw em out in the snow
27
And the rum was better and it came in bigger bottles
28
And the revenue cutters were slow,
29
Still the old Anne-Marie has wings on the water
30
And there's nothin like Trinidad Light
31
On Acadian Saturday Night
32
And it's oh ho, don't the fiddle make you roll?
33
Your heart she'd pound like a hammer
34
There's a fat lady beatin the piano like a drum
35
And everybody's higher than a kite
36
And it's oh ho, don't the fiddle make you roll?
37
Your heart she'd pound like a hammer
38
There's a fat lady beatin the piano like a drum
39
And everybody's higher than a kite
40
On Acadian Saturday Night
