The Grateful Dead - One More Saturday Night

To Rate
Verse 1
Went down to the mountain, I was drinking some wine
Looked up into heaven, Lord, I saw a mighty sign
Writ in fire across the heaven, plain as black and white
Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight

Chorus
Uh-huh, hey, Saturday night
Hey, uh-huh, one more Saturday night now, now
Woo, Saturday night

Verse 2
Everybody's dancing down the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery
The temperature keeps rising, everybody getting high
Come the rocking stroke of midnight, the place is gonna fly

Chorus
Uh-huh, hey, Saturday night
Hеy, uh-huh, one more Saturday night now, now, now
Hey, Saturday night

Instrumental Break

Verse 3
Turn on Channеl Six, the President comes on the news
Says, "I get no satisfaction, that's why I sing the blues"
His wife say, "Don't get crazy, Lord, you know just what to do
Crank up that old Victrola, break out your rocking shoes"

Chorus
Uh-huh, hey, Saturday night
Hey, uh-huh, one more Saturday night now, now, now
Hey, Saturday night

Verse 4
Then God way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth
Thought He'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it Planet Earth
Don't worry about tomorrow, you'll know it when it come
When the rock and roll music meets the rising, shining sun

Chorus
Uh-huh, hey, Saturday night
Hey, uh-huh, one more Saturday night now, now, now
Hey, Saturday night

Instrumental Break

Hanging on a Saturday night (One more Saturday night)
Hanging on a Saturday night (One more Saturday night)
Everybody get right (One more Saturday night)
Hanging on a Saturday night now (One more Saturday night)
One more Saturday, one more Saturday night
Hey, hanging on a Saturday night (One more Saturday night)
Hanging on a Saturday night
Ow (One more Saturday night)
On a Saturday night (One more Saturday night)
One more Saturday, one more Saturday night
Woo, hanging on a Saturday night (One more Saturday night)
Hanging on a Saturday night (One more Saturday night)
Woo, ooh (One more Saturday night)
Hanging on a Saturday night now (One more Saturday night)
One more Saturday, one more Saturday night
Oh oh

The Grateful Dead

Amidst the growing counter-culture scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, The Grateful Dead were founded by lead guitarist/vocalist Jerry Garcia, bass player Phil Lesh, rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, keyboardist Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and drummer Bill Kreutzmann in Palo Alto in 1965, originally as The Warlocks. Percussionist Mickey Hart later joined the group in 1967 and other members cycled through the group in following years as the core remained intact. Their eclectic music formed the archetype for the “Jam Band” genre, combining elements from rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass, and psychedelic music into improvisational performances.

Over the years the Dead released 22 recorded albums, although they were most famous for their improvisational jams at concerts, earning them a cult-like following of self-proclaimed “Dead Heads” who would follow the band from concert-to-concert throughout the band’s career.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and they’ve sold more than 40 million albums in total; all that with only one top 40 hit (“Truckin”), and one Top 10 hit (“Touch of Grey”) that came near the end of the band’s run, shortly before Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Grateful Dead was also ranked 57th in Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue in 2004 and 2005. Since then, various incarnations of the Dead have continued to tour, although a 2015 farewell tour was said to be the band’s last.

In 2015 Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann started a new group called Dead and Company with John Mayer, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and former Dead keyboardist Jeff Chimenti which Weir has said may have a future in the studio and will continue to tour in coming years.

In 2008, The Grateful Dead named the University of California, Santa Cruz McHenry Library as the home of their complete archival history, including their recorded music, live bootlegs, and artworks. The collections are are now housed at UC Santa Cruz.
