-5 -6b -6b  -6b  -5b -5b -6b -6b -5
Sat-ur-day night and the moon is out

-5 -5  5  -5  -5 -5 -5 -5b 5    -5   -5   4
I wan-na head on o-ver to the Twist and Shout

 -5  5  -5  -5   -5   5   5  5 -5  5   -6b
Find a two-step part-ner and a Ca-jun beat

 -5   5   -5  5  -5  5  -5  -5  -6b -4  -4
When it lifts me up I'm gon-na find my feet

-6b -6b -6b -6b -5b -5b -5b -6b  -6b   -5
Out in the mid-dle  of  a   big dance floor

 -5  5  -5   -5  -5  -5b  -5 -5b -5  5   4
When I hear that fid-dle wan-na beg for more

-5   5   -5  -5 5  -5   
Wan-na dance to a band 

 -5 -5  -5  5 -5   4  4
from a-Lou'si-an' to-night



VERSE 1


 -4 4  -4  4  -4   -4   4    -4   4  -4 -4   4
and I nev-er have wan-dered down to New Or-leans

 5  -4  5     5   -4   5 -5  -4  5   4
Nev-er have drift-ed down a bay-ou stream

 5 -4   -4   -4  -4   4 -4  -4 -4 -4 5
But I heard that mus-ic on the ra-di-o

 5  5   5     5   5  5  -4  5  5  4
And I swore some-day I was gon-na go

 -5  -5 -5  -6b  4  -6b -5 -6b -5  -6b
Down a High-way 10 past a  La-fay-ette

   5    -4 5  -4   -4   -4 5  -4   -4  -4
There’s a Ba-ton Rouge and I won't for-get

-4  -5   -5 5  -5   -5  -5  5  -6b
To send you a card with my re-grets

   -5   5   -5  5  -5 -5  -6b  -4   -4
'Cause I'm nev-er gon-na come back home


CHORUS


 -4   -4 5 -4  4 -4   4  -4
They got a Al-li-ga-tor stew 

-4  4  -4   -4   4
and a craw-fish pie

-4 -5    5    5   -4   5 -5  -4   5   4
A Gulf storm blow-in' in-to town to-night

-4   4 -4  -4  -4  4    -4   -4  -4  5
Liv-in on the Del-ta's its quite a show

 -4   5   5  -4   5   5   -4
They got Hur-ri-cane par-ties 

 5 -4  5    5   4
ev-ry time it blows

-5   -5  -5  -6b   -6b -5 -6b  -6b  -6b
but here up north it's a cold cold rain

 5    -4    5   -4  -4   5  -4  -4   -4  -4
And there ain't no cure for my blues to-day

-4  -5   -5   5  -5  5   -5
Ex-cept when the pa-per says: 

  5  5   -6b -5 5  -5  5  -5 -5  -6b
Beau-so-leil is a com-ing in-to town

5   5   5    5  -4   4
Ba-by let's go down its 


CHORUS 


  -4    4  -4  4    -4   4   -4  5
Bring your ma-ma, bring your pa-pa, 

  -4    4  -4   -4   4
bring your sis-ter too

  4   -4   5   5 -4  -4  5   -4   5  4
They got lots of mus-ic and lots of room

 5    -4   -4   -4 -4  -4   -4  -4 -4    5   5
When they play you a waltz from a nine-teen ten

   5    5  -4   5  5  5   -4  5    5   5  4
You’re gon-na feel a lit-tle bit young a-gain

 -5   -5   -5  -6b -6b  -6b   -5   -6b -5 -6b
Well you learn to dance with your rock-in roll

 -4   5    5   -4   -5   5 -4 -4
You learn to swing with do-si-do

 4   -4   5   5   -4   5  -4  -5   5 -5
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do

 -5   5   -5  5  -5  -5  -6b   -4
When you hear a lit-tle Jolie Blon

CHORUS TO END!

ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
