Verse
Uncle GEmile's been gone now Gnearly ten days
Told his Cwife he be goin' for the Gfishing
But in the Gwaters off St. Pierre and EmMiquelon Isles
The Cfishes come in bottles of Amgold
If the GAnne-Marie don't break and the GMounties stayin' blind
He'll be Cback before the moon is Bmrising
With a Cvery fine catch all Gsafe in the hold
Thirty Ccases of Trinidad Glight
For CAcadian D7Saturday night

Verse
Now GEmmeline Comeau works the Ggeneral store
My CPapa says she's good for the Gcustom's
She got Geyes like fire and Emhair past her shoulders
As Cshiny black as Cumberland Amcoal
You can Gsee her Sunday morning on the GSt. Phillipe road
Her Cmaman close behind like a Bmdragon
But her Cmama doesn't know what she Gdoes behind the hall
CAway from the music and the Glight
On CAcadian D7Saturday Gnight
Chorus
And it's Doh don't the Cfiddles make you Groll
Your Cheart she will pound like a Emhammer
There's a Dfat lady B7beating her Empiano like a Cdrum
And everybody's higher than a Gkite
On CAcadian D7Saturday night

Verse
Now Ggranpa says it was Gbetter in his day
The CMounties stayed away from the Gparties
And they Gdidn't mind a fight when the Gspirit got high
You could Calways throw them out in the Amsnow
And the Grum was better and it Gcame in bigger bottles
And the Crevenue cutters were Bmslow
Still the Cold Anne-Marie has Gwings on the water
And there's Cnothing like Trinidad Glight
For CAcadian D7Saturday Gnight
Chorus
And it's Doh don't the Cfiddles make you Groll
Your Cheart she will pound like a Emhammer
There's a Dfat lady B7beating her Empiano like a Cdrum
And everybody's higher than a Gkite
And it's Doh don't the Cfiddles make you Groll
Your Cheart she will pound like a Emhammer
There's a Dfat lady B7beating her Empiano like a Cdrum
And everybody's higher than a Gkite
