Saturday Night
Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago
The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow
And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring
The bluebird was high on the wing
Whatever happened to Saturday night
Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight?
She said, "Tell me, oh, tell me, was I alright?
Whatever happened to Saturday night?"
The years brought the railroad, it ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows and dust on the floor
And she passes the time at another man's side
And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangled web we weave
Go 'round with circumstance
Someone show me how to tell the dancer
From the dance
What ever happened to Saturday night?
Choosin' a friend and losin' a fight
She said, "Tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright?
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
Whatever happened to Saturday night?"
