Oh Katy bar the door keep the girls in the house
Cause I'm gonna live it up there ain't no doubt
Katy bar the door I'm a man not a mouse so look out pretty girls it's my night out

Well all week long I work at the mill from sunup to sundown everyday
Well at noon on Saturday everything stands still
And I'm halfway to town when I get my pay
So Katy bar the door
[ dobro ]
Before this night is over in troubles where I'll be
I'll be you-know-what-on-wheels you might say
I'll try to drink the town up and I may do it watch and see
If not I'll get it done next Saturday
So Katy bar the door
So Katy bar the door
