Biography:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

[Intro]
G F C F
G
Uncle Emile's been gone now nearly ten days
C G
Told his wife he be goin' for the fishing
Em
But in the waters off St. Pierre and Miquelon Isles
C Am
The fishes come in bottles of gold
G
If the Anne-Marie don't break and the Mounties stayin' blind
C Em
He'll be back before the moon is rising
C G
With a very fine catch all safe in the hold
C G
Thirty cases of Trinidad light
C D7 G F C F
For Acadian Saturday night
G
Now Emmeline Comeau works the general store
C G
My Papa says she's good for the custom's
Em
She got eyes like fire and hair past her shoulders
C Am
As shiny black as Cumberland coal
G
You can see her Sunday morning on the St Phillipe road
C Em
Her maman close behind like a dragon
C G
But her mama doesn't know what she does behind the hall
C G
Away from the music and the light
C D7 G
On Acadian Saturday night
D C G
And it's oh, don't the fiddles make you roll
C Em
Your heart she will pound like a hammer
D B7 Em C
There's a fat lady beating her piano like a drum
G
And everybody's higher than a kite

G
Now granpa says it was better in his day
C G
The Mounties stayed away from the parties
G
And they didn't mind a fight when the spirit got high
C Am
You could always throw them out in the snow
G
And the rum was better and it came in bigger bottles
C Em
And the revenue cutters were slow
C G
Still, the old Anne-Marie has wings on the water
C G
And there's nothing like Trinidad light
C D7 G
For Acadian Saturday night

And it's oh, don't the fiddles make you roll
