Greg, Here's another song not readily connected to Hank Williams, but he
wrote it and gave half to Jimmie Davis for recording it.

This is the work of Tim Ausburn. Written by Hank Williams and Jimmie Davis.
Rec. by Jimmie Davis, 10-14-51.

       BAYOU PON PON

(A) THERE'S A PLACE I KNOW YOU'LL WANT TO GO,

(D) IF  YOU'RE  EVER  FEELING  LOW,

FOR THE (A) HAPPIEST PLACE BENEATH THE SUN,

IS SATURDAY NIGHT ON  BA - (E7) YOU  PON  (A) PON.



OH THE FIDDLES SING AND THE GUITARS RING,

THEY HAVE NO THOUGHT OF CARE OR PAIN,

IT'S TIME TO DANCE  THEIR  WORK  IS  DONE,

IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT ON  BA - YOU  PON  PON.



OH SWEET MARIE SHE'LL DANCE WITH ME,

AND SUCH A SIGHT YOU'LL NEVER SEE,

TE - RESE,  ANNETTE  AND  JOLE` - BLON,

WILL ALL BE THERE AT  BA - YOU  PON  PON.



IT'S A JAMBOREE AT ST. LANDREE,

THEY COME FROM ST. CHARLES, ST. JAMES, ST. JOHN,

IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT ON  BA - YOU  PON  PON.
