Through Facebook I asked Jon Natchez how to play the song on accordion.
And he answer me this:

Thanks, Natchez. With my band ( The Flying Beirut Orkestar ) I play this song alone with violin and voice. In the other songs we have mandolin, flute, two violins, two ukes, two guitars, drums, all at the same time. Take a look.
Good luck,
If you have any questions just ask.
