Come on y 'all, take some more
A
to work your appetites out
Bm
G
Don't you think I can get up
and down
How old do you think
D

G
D
Don't you dare an swer that
You know when I bought
in this Samson Clues, Miles
Bm
G
I could swear I was right back

lie, Brother Washington.

You better think you's back

the hold of your hands will be too sore to pick cotton

Well, well, maybe I ain't got cotton

pickin' his hands no more,

My feet feel like they're 13

A
D
Me, I got post -office palsy,
and I've sorted so many letters,
my eyes are gettin' weak.
I gotta go see about things in the kitchen.
This year it's Saturday night,
y 'all, so change the subject.
Can't you find nothing
else to talk about
except how hard you work all week?
I'll go, Auntie. I'll go.
Now, you sure
are right there, Miss Maybell.
Time just flies, and Saturday night only comes
once a week.
Seems like it only come once a month,
if you ask me.
Well, I guess we lucky to get
that.
Remember that old poem, uh,
In the beginning, so the Bible say,
Every second of every day was party time,
Saturday night party time.
In the beginning, so the Bible say,
the Lord wanted man to have it nice,
but Adam and Eve acted ugly,
and ever since, poor
folks pay the price.
That point don't hardly rhyme.
I bet you made that up yourself.
You better watch your step
if you want to go to heaven.
Well, if the Lord can't take a little joke,
heaven ain't such a wonderful place anyhow.
