Chorus
Another | [G] Saturday night that I | [C] ain't got nobody |
| [G] I got some money 'cause I | [D] just got paid
Now | [G] how I wish I had | [C] someone to talk to |
| [D↓] I'm [D↓] in an [C↓] aw- [C↑] ful [G↑] way, | [G] |
| [G] I got in town a | [D] month ago
I | [G] seen a lot of girls since | [C] then
If I could | [G] meet 'em, I could get 'em
But as | [C] yet I haven't met 'em
That's | [D↓] why I'm [D↓] in the [C↓] shape [C↑] I'm [G↑] in, | [G] here
Chorus
Another | [G] Saturday night and I | [C] ain't got nobody |

Now | [G] how I wish I had | [C] someone to talk to
| [D↓] I'm [D↓] in an [C↓] aw- [C↑] ful [G↑] way, | [G] now |
| [G] Another fella | [D] told me
He had a | [G] sister who looked just | [C] fine
Instead of | [G] being my deliverance
She | [C] had a strange resemblance
To a | [D↓] cat [D↓] named [C↓] Frank- [C↑] en- [G↑] stein, | [G] here |
Chorus

| [D↓] I'm [D↓] in an [C↓] aw- [C↑] ful [G↑] way, | [G] |
| [G] It's hard on a | [D] fella
When | [G] he don't know his way a- | [C] round
If I don't | [G] find me a honey
To | [C] help me spend my money
I'm | [D↓] gonna [D↓] have to [C↓] blow [C↑] this [G↑] town, | [G] here it's |
