SOL FA DO FA
verse:
SOL
Uncle Emile's been gone now nearly ten days
DO SOL
Told his wife he'll be gone for the fishin'.
SOL SOL/FA# MIm RE
But in the waters off St. Pierre and Miquelon isles
DO LAm
The fishes come in bottles of gold.
SOL
If the Anne Marie don't break and the mounties stay in line
DO SIm
He'll be back before the moon is rising
DO SOL
With a very fine catch all safe in the hold
DO SOL
Thirty cases of Trinidad Light,
DO RE7 SOL FA DO FA
For Acadian Saturday Night.
Now Emmeline Comeau works the general store
Pappa says shes good for the customs
She's got eyes like fire and hair past her shoulders
As shiney black as Cumberland coal
You can see her sunday morning on the St. Phillipe rd.
Her mom close behind like a dragon
But her mamma don't know what she does behind the hall
Away from the music and the lights on Acadian Saturday Night
chorus
RE7 DO SOL
And its oh__ don't the fiddle make you roll
DO SOL
Till your heart shes a pounding like a hammer
RE MIb MIm
There's a fat lady beating a piano like a drum
SOL DO
And everybodys higher that a kite
DO RE7 SOL FA DO FA
On Acadian Saturday Night.
Grandpa said it was better in his day
The mounties stayed away from the parties
And he didn't mind a fight when the spirits got high
You could always throw them out in the snow
And rum was better and it came in bigger bottles
And the revenue cutters were slow
But still the old Anne Marie has wings on the water
And theres nothing like Trinidad Light for Acadian Saturday Night
Repeat Chorus 2 X
