"Tennessee Saturday Night" is a Western swing ballad written by Billy Hughes. The song tells of Tennesseans having a good time on a Saturday night. Each verse ends with the refrain:
- ... they all go native on a Saturday night.
Red Foley and the Cumberland Valley Boys had a huge hit with the song (Decca 45136), staying on the charts for 11 weeks; reaching #1 on March 19, 1949.[1] Johnny Bond's recording (Columbia 20545) reached #11 later that year.[2]

Other well-known recordings include those by Ernest Tubb (1961) and Jerry Lee Lewis (1967).
