"Louisiana Saturday Night" is a song written by Bob McDill and recorded by American country music artist Mel McDaniel. It was released in March 1981 as the third single from McDaniel's 1980 album, I'm Countryfied. The song was originally sung by Don Williams. The song is often mistakenly attributed to popular country music bands Alabama (band) and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.Adding to the confusion, Tom T. Hall wrote an earlier, unrelated song by the same name. Hall's "Louisiana Saturday Night" was recorded by Mamou, Louisiana's Jimmy C. Newman in 1967.
Probably it was a Dolly Parton & Doug Kershaw appearance on the "Louisiana Saturday Night on Dolly Show" in 1987 that made this simple country song a "must dance" title. Lately this song has become popular in the USA and in many other countries as a "country line dance".
Don Williams - Louisiana Saturday Night Lyrics
Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log
Single shot rifle and a one-eyed dog
Yonder come my kin folk in the moonlight
Louisiana Saturday night
Hey you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
Kick off your shoes and throw 'em on the floor
Dance in the kitchen 'til the morning light
Louisiana Saturday night
My brother Bill and my other brother Jack
Belly full of beer and a possum in the sack
Fifteen kids in the front porch light
Louisiana Saturday night
When the kin folks leave and the kids get fed
Me and my woman gonna sneak of to bed
Have a little fun when we turn off the light
Louisiana Saturday night
