Merle Haggard
All Night Long
[Verse 1: Randy Travis]
Every Saturday long about now
I feed my chickens and my milking cows
Air's filling up with music and song
Gonna have a party all night long
[Chorus: Merle Haggard & Both]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's going strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Merle Haggard]
I got a gal lives across the creek
Every time I look at her my knees get weak
First time I tried to take her on my knee
She took after me with a singletree
[Chorus: Randy Travis & Both]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's going strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Randy Travis]
Sun's up high the Fourth of July
Chickens won't lay and the cow's gone dry
Creek's dried up, I can't go fishing
Should be working 'stead of sitting here wishing
[Verse 4: Merle Haggard]
Big watermelon hanging on the vine
Said "Keep Out" I couldn't read that sign
Gun went off and I started to run
Left that watermelon in the sun
[Chorus: Randy Travis & Merle Haggard]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's going strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
[Verse 5: Randy Travis & Merle Haggard]
Sun's coming up, the rooster's crowing
Fiddler's gone, I got to be going
Back to the house across the creek
But we'll be back at the end of the week
[Chorus: Merle Haggard]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's going strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long
Gonna have a party all night long
