Lyrics:
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
They got a alligator stew and a crawfish pie
A golf storm blowin' into town tonight
Livin on the delta's quite a show
They got hurricane parties every time it blows
And here up north it's a cold cold rain
And there ain't no cure for my blues today
Except when the paper says: Beausoleil is coming into town
Baby let's go down
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
Bring your mama, bring your papa, bring your sister too
They got lots of music and lots of room
When they play you a waltz from 1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again
Well you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
You learned to swing with a do-si-do
But you learn to love at the fais-so-do
When you hear a little Jolie Blon
Saturday night and the moon is out
I wanna head on over to the Twist and Shout
Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight
I’m 66. I’ve heard a lot of music in many genres. Who knows how many songs ‘I really like’. This is one that I’d drop everything to listen to and it’s even better here thanks to MCC’s delightful energy and appearance.
I am 72 and love this song!😊
100% Agree with you!!
Ich bin 73 und genieße die Musik 🎶 immer noch
Yes! Never get tired of her and this song!
I love her songs. Every single morning I listen and sing.
This is one of my favorite. She not only does a wonderful job of singing; she is enjoying the music with her actions and her smile.
SŹsxx zzezszzfszez
I'm from Texas ... she is from New Jersey. This confirms what I have long believed ... Cajun Music is Contagious ! ! !
You catch it on yo fingers, and it craws on up y'sleeves.
And your temperature can fluctuate...from diggy-diggy-high to diggy-diggy-low.😉
Still fun!!!
I'm never gonna go back hoooaaam...
What a woman !!
It says something when she can roll it all out and you can still understand every word she sings....she was indeed underrated.
\>0.l; @!
That's because she's a real live musician performing, and not a "performer" pretending to be a musician.
@@russs7574 And she wrote all her own stuff. Truly a unique artist in every respect!
I am soooo tired of people saying "so and so was so underrated." 5 Grammy awards, ACW awards, gold records/albums etc. Not underrated
Great Musi
Im a born and raised Texan but I married a Louisiana boy so I've come to love this kinda music.
At 78 this is a great song for getting in 10,000 step. Love this song and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
Being bred and raised in Louisiana, this is one song that captures the essence of that state culture. It happens in backyards and bayous all through the state and boy do i miss it. Stuck elsewhere atm, but plan to go back and retire.
Lol the song is about a place in Maryland
@@cullanpadroclum Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
But I heard that music on the radio
And I swore some day I was gonna go
Down to Highway 10, past the Lafayette
There's the Baton Rouge and I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home
seems like she couldn't be further from MaryLand. gtfo :D
@@davidbrown9914 "Well, I NEVER HAVE wandered down to New Orleans, I NEVER HAVE drifted down a bayou stream."
She says it in the song. It was written about a place called the Twist and Shout, in Bethesda Maryland. BUT- to be fair, it's about how that place made her _wish_ she could go to Louisiana. ;)
I've eaten deer, elk, bear, moose, trout, steelhead my whole life. I'm definitely adding alligator stew to my food bucket list!
My husband has passed now. But he used to love to hear her music and signing. ❤️
She sang this song for my father on his birthday at church street station in Orlando FL.thank you Mary. God bless you!
This beautiful woman has charisma that just doesn’t stop. She’s a true force of nature, totally electrically alive.
Thanks for your love and constant supports has brought me this far. Keep Supporting me ❤️❤️❤️

Soo kool, classy simple dress no hoof boots or crazy 8 inch heels.
Such positive affirming energy.
Does that mean she's a good singer?
@@Sparky-ov1ot she is great at everything because she is all about love.
It is impossible to be sad when you have this song on.
I was born in Louisiana and lived in a few different places and eventually moved back home. Louisiana will always hold a special place in my heart
Same here.
Became a Marine in 66, stayed elsewere for 40 years, came home in 2006. All my family are here. Cajun is a state of mind (mine).
You will be dancing like this in heaven. I think of all that Jesus did for us...as I listen to this. He did this not only for our life...but He did it for our joy to be full. Yes...life has a lot of heartache...and hurt at times, but when God pulls you out...He wants you to dance for joy !!! Yes !
Words of Wisdom. TY.
It's all connected - and Mary Chapin Carpenter literally leaps into the beating heart of joy, of dance, of celebration. How we need that spirit just now (2021 getting under way). The Bible speaks of a 'weight of glory' - that doesn't mean it's dull or heavy. This is what brought the Cajuns from Canada to the bayous, and what can raise us from the doldrums of CoViD and family feuding to a new day. All y'all spoke truth - let me just say 'amen' to Mike Rayner: 'Well, this was fun!' [Do all y'all from outside the Gulf understand 'hurricane parties'? Love her chuckle at the end....].
I never get tired of hearing this song. Mary looks like she is having so much fun.
I am from La. and this is great stuff. Carpenter is a great talent and her alto voice is a dream. The nineties were a great time for country music. Today we are in the desert.
Cette chanteuse elle bouge énormément

We all need to dance like that again, enough of this fist pump crap.
Mary Carpenter really is ever so breathtaking as standing in there will never be another one to replace her in any way. Her true talent and Cajun ways make me one from Oklahoma certainly Envy Louisiana. She will never be forgotten.
@@tuckerkitchens2512 She's no Cajun though, she's from New Jersey. That much is evident by the fact she's conflating "New Orleans" and "Cajun" when there is nothing Cajun about New Orleans.
It's 2024, but this is still one of my most favorite songs! She is such an energetic entertainer! Really gets the crowd and band energized! Lovin' it!!!
Can't get more American than this. Beautiful, and everybody is smiling, laughing...having the time of their lives!
It’s a music video. Not real life.
Just imagine if the world got along with everyone the way they do in a country bar where they are all dancing??!❤
Texas, and Louisiana both have the best.... country, metal, sports, food, and everything between! I don't need go ever leave Texas, and Louisiana!
One of the best song writers in my world, sensitive, thoughtful.... and she can rock when it's required. Love you Mary!
She is the ABSOLUTE. BEST. There is no superior songwriter. Just saw her here in New Orleans this weekend, and it was a religious experience!
@@PhilipsWood725 Thanks Philips, wished I could've been there.
@@ClarenceHW She is on your right now!.. That was just the first night! Go check out her schedule!
I have heard other bands and singers do that song but Mary Chain Carpenter is the only one that could make it a hit .
Her versatility as a singer / songwriter is unmatched. She sings every song with vocal clarity and never loses the emotion. Cant wait to see her with my mom this August.
This was second song in her encore in her excellent show in Scottsdale. Everyone was up & dancing. Only thing missing was BeauSoleil.
I am happy to see that she still is performing. I got to see her years ago in Portland. Excellent!!!!
Seen her in 92 in Winnipeg worth every minute
Washboard. Spoons. Accordian. Steel guitar. They all blend together so perfectly. Sad how a song as great as this is so underrated, and nearly forgotten.
My dad's the one playing accordion
My band plays it at every show.
Thanks for that.
@@CajunMonarch
A shame they didn't highlight him more since he carries the song. Megan Breaux
Yeah
Why isn't she popular? I grew up with this song
I always thought Mary was FIIIINE! She STILL looks incredible! One very talented young lady!
Agreed
Agree 100%
Absolutely
Meh....a few notches above Marcy D'Arcy and Vicki Lawrence (c. 1973).
A perfect performance by one of the world's cutest ladies.
The year was 1994 and I was probably on a California highway somewhere stuck in traffic and my mother was GETTING IT to this song.. 🙄 brings back memories
This may be the best country song ever recorded!?
That’s cause it’s Cajun 😏
Achy breaky heart
My wife and were SERIOUS rock fans, but in the 90's we discovered some pretty heavy US country artists. Still the best country music IMO. MCC was definitely one of the best. Rock on, girl.
Proud to be an Acadian and a late '80s baby who misses decent country music.
I am also a proud Acadian my family is from st Damien NB and when I listen to this I feel at home well being stuck in the city its great to hear music from our type people
Nous somme Acadienne ici en le sur de la Louisianne. ❤❤
@@nicholascormier8494 Sais tu, Acadie, j'ai le mal du pays.
J'arrive Acadie.
Proud Lafayette Cajun here
This was my precious Mom's favorite song God bless you Mom I hope you and JESUS Christ heavenly Father reign in heaven long after im gone love you always Mom
This Lady has the voice of a Cajun Angel, I grew up in Baton Rouge, I miss it every time I listen to her. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Truly a dazzling artist and steady (always in control). Highly underrated. Could switch from red-hot country rock to tender ballads with a snap of the finger.
Need to hear this song daily. 😊
Mary Carpenter is one that is ever so underrated in and stated by many others. She is one that is so down to earth yet ever so real. In my book she is one rated second to none. She will always be in my prayers.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Had one of her songs, “We’ve Only Just Begun” played as my Dad and I walked down the aisle, at my wedding in 1974! It was beautiful!!!
She has written so many beautiful songs.
One of the most passionate singers I have ever heard. Her legacy will continue to grow.
Makes me cry for the sheer joy purveyed by the very excellent MCC in this song. And that wait for it ending...
Mary knew she struck gold when this song hit the airwaves.

Loving this music from Papua New Guinea! Can't get enough of it!! Lovely woman herself!!!
I'm 51 years old and single! This song gives me hope!!!
Now THATS real Country
If you don't feel good after hearing this song you have a problem.
Exactly! If your toes aren't tapping during this, you need to check your pulse or at least make sure you're still breathing!
Happy early birthday tomorrow Friday and weekend
Hahaha.I think so
Depression effects 1 in 10 people; I need a waltz from 1910 to make me feel young again.
you got that right
I'm a metalhead. Always have been. But for span in 1996-2001 or so I was heavily into country. So my experience is limited but stuff like this brings so many memories back. Love it. LOVE. IT!
That's quite common. I grew up in Southern Louisiana and every metalhead I knew also liked country. I think it's the guitar. Country guitarists can wail. 😁
Well said!
This is from 90's? I couldn't decipher from the clothes if this was 80's or 90's. I love her voice.
That's because you just can't go wrong with 90's Country. I'm a musician and play in a country band and it's amazing how people only want to talk about the extremely old country or the brand new country but as a musician, the sounds I hear in 90's Country are unmatched and there's virtually no way possible someone can't like it. If you got tired of Country, I can't blame you because I did too (new country) but tune in to 90's Country and maybe some late 80's and you'll hear the best music that ever came out of Nashville.

She's a fine performer, she should get more play on radio.❤
I wasn't the biggest MCC fan back in the day, but man this song has always been fun.
Man M.C.C. is one of the coolest people on the music channel.
Great songs are timeless. This one still sets the standard for toe tapping feel good music! Mary’s vocal delivery is always clear and distinct yet has that conversational feel that makes the listener feel as if the song is meant expressly for them. Truly one of the greats!
SO ....EVERYTHING GOOD!!!!
I'm a Brit who just loves everything country but this has got to be the best ever!
whatever you call it, cajun,country who cares, this song and MCC are amazing I just play it over and over cant get enough.
I love the look on Mary Chapin Carpenter's face when she jumps on the center of the stage at 0:06
"The Twist and Shout" from Bethesda, MD. I saw Mary Chapin Carpenter live in the DC area the small club around 1980. Her close friend Wendy Flynt said we got to go here Mary Chapin Carpenter and we did and it was a lot of fun!
I haven’t listened to Mary Chapin Carpenter for ages. I used to listen to her all the time. I think I have a couple records. Sounds good brings back memories.
So proud that a Jersey girl could be so country! I love her music - it's just so fun!
Saw her in Houston years ago and have missed her ever since. Going to see her in New Orleans this weekend - can't wait!! Love everything about her! ❤
I WAS THERE, TOO!! So good! I cried, for sure! She’s the best!
@@PhilipsWood725 - 100%! NOLA show was amazing! Going to see her again in October. No more missing out anymore; it’s catch-up time! 😊
@@diannes.1275 AGHHH!! I want to see her again, too!!!
Lucky!
This is such a great and enjoyable to song to keep listening and watching😬🥰😂
A shame country music will never be like this again
I remember happiness before everything went to shit. God I hope my children and grandchildren see good times return. Thank God for these old videos from better times. Maybe they'll inspire people to overthrow these tyrants.
Any song that makes you smile, sing and tap your feet must be better than good and that is just what this is.
People who are this happy at their work like this lady is are so blessed.

i didn't grow up in the country or listening to country music but this music seems so natural.
Why have I never heard of her before? OMG, I would drive across the country to see her perform live. Absolutely amazing.
IDK...she was big back in the late 80's and early 90's. Since then her popularity has waned save for those fans who are just committed to her music.
@@crockett3663 That's true Dave but also true, she's an old woman now.
@@bendrake1748 She's 65 which isn't that old. There are plenty of male and female artists still performing way past that. Stevie Nicks, Willie Nelson, Elton John to name just a few.
@@FlapperMama 65 is NOT old, you are correct. I'm 78.
@@bendrake1748 - her energy at the New Orleans show in June was amazing. The house was rocking. She has a great band and she has a lot of sun when she’s singing. Same energy as she had 30 years ago.
This lady has so many styles, it's fascinating. She's a poet and if you listen to all of her music, even this is a good one, this is a simple one compared.
She is the definition of a natural beauty

I'm from Minnesota and my late grandma used to play accordion like this. That's why I'll always love this kind of country
Love this video love seeing these people enjoying a good time smiling laughing even the band is enjoying the moment and Mary Chapin Carpenter is to dancing a jig & laughing while she sings ! Beautiful just simply beautiful !
OH MY GOODNESS! GREAT MUSIC! MCC had fun, the band had fun, the audience had fun! I could NOT SIT still! I love this kind of music. I wish I had found this sooner!
Be super if she was to sing a follow up !
no hurricane is complete without this song.

I grew up listening to zydeco. My Grandma was born and raised in Central Louisiana, and she passed her love of Cajun culture down to me.
Thanks, Grandma. I'm grateful.
Lort i love her! Saw her at the Edmonton folk fest a couple of years ago..just the best!
They don't make music like this anymore. NOTHING coming out of Nashville in the last decade can even hold a candle to this.
you said it. I was only 1 when this was released but I remember hearing it alot in the early 90s. I mean there's a couple good songs today but pretty much every one on my itunes playlist ranges from the late 70s to 1999, with a couple from maybe 2006-2007. A majority of the songs are from 1990-1994. There's so many singers out there today that I just do not like at all, like Rascal Flatts for example. It's too "pop" now.
Damn right. Ole Mary knew how to sing and have fun doing it
Raging Ranter you just don't know how wrong 100% of every word in your statement is. There ain't a single word in that comment you posted that is even the slightest bit close to true
Stephen R bitch today's country is so far from pop it ain't even funny. It's literally the definition of true country. That person may of "said it" but they "said it" wrong. Not a damn single word in their statement is anywhere close to true
Exactly! That's why I don't listen to broadcast radio. Instead, I listen to The Bluegrass Jamboree!! (www.thebluegrassjamboree.com) - Best in bluegrass, bluegrass Gospel, and traditional country, 24/7, FREE!!!
This song makes me want to dance! Loved country music all of my life! Grew up in Ky. People drove around with instruments in their cars! My Mom played guitar, Uncle the banjo, people would stop by and man we had such good music on my Grandparents porch! Miss those days!
Who wouldn't be listening to this awesome song
I remember when tropical storm Allison parked over Houston for 3 days dumping tons of rain and spawning dozens of tornados. We called in sick for those 3 days, stayed drunk and threw a massive hurricane party. We played this song constantly. Nothing like whiskey and blow to keep it going for DAYS!
My dad played this song when I was a kid. I’m in my 30s now and it feels like is been ages, but this song still kicks and boost me up. Thank you for this masterpiece, sending the best vibes from Barcelona 🇪🇸
Thank You Mary Chapin Carpenter for all your great music!
You never let anyone down and your personal life is just that...…..
Really great to hear from NZ . We McDonald's love Bonnie Scotland and Angus . You really do cheer things up , through these character breeding tiimes . Thanks .
❤️🧡💛
I've had the CD for 20 years and I still play it. Not as often as I once did but she always makes me smile
I remember singing with this on the radio when I was a little girl. Still love it! She was an underrated country/Cajun artist!
Did she do any Cajun music besides this song? I know she does country, and this is a good song, but I didn't know she did other Cajun styled songs.
She's from New Jersey
She grabs this Nana’s attention for sure!!🎉
That sawing on the fiddle lifts my heart.
No one can touch the way she sings this song!!!!🎉
I’ve loved her since childhood, and I’ve got no desire to stop!!
THIS SONG BRINGS ME BACK TO BETTER TIMES. SHE DOES A GREAT JOB.
Adorable
I think what I love about this video is the mix of the audience...ages, sizes, beauty....all just having fun.
I'm 83 and obviously a big fan, but I found her on my own. I could have been twice as effective as her agent/publicist. This dynamic lady is a jewel.
If u can’t dance…u will DANCE while listening to this !
We need to hear more from HER!! Great Voice!! Great Smile!!! Great Country Artist....they don't make 'em like that any more!!! This is an excellent song for her, .....and an excellent music video!!! What a Talent!!!🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁😁
My dad is the accordion player for Beausoleil. I love this song.
Mercy!
Can't think o'no thing bettah.
Love their music and how they represent the Acadian culture.
Real, honest music with no gimmicks, no toxic lyrics, no street filth lingo, & no autotune. Just real TALENT "On Loan From Goddddddd!" ❤️
Well stated!!
So true! Country music has lost its way. All the men sound alike with a fake southern accent, singing about Friday or Saturday night, a beer and a pickup truck. Don’t get me wrong, all these subjects have a place in music but let’s get real! Song after song, singer after singer it’s the same. Where is the real talent? Where is the heartfelt realness? Where is country music?
@@toddgiaro7657 I had a friend in college ('68-'72) that said he could sum up every country song ever written in one phrase: "My true love found a new love!" LOL
@@dcinpa1134 You know the joke, right? What do you get when you play a country and western record backwards? You get your truck back, you get your dog back, you get your wife back.
@@toddgiaro7657 Very True Todd, I think that is by design, too. I think the powers that be are pushing these weak songs, which have no heart and soul to them, no meaning, no feelings, nothing at all. Like you said, they'll talk about trucks, and drinking beer, partying, and girls... just a bunch of meaningless excess. Not that there's anything wrong with happy, uplifting music, but the country music of today is just frivolous. There's nothing deep or spiritual about it. They're trying to make us all into shallow consumers who just shut our minds off and never think critically about anything. They don't want us to question their narratives or disobey their constant manipulation of society so they can shape it in whatever image they want, which is a weak, brainless, malleable populace who serves the elites and doesn't rock the boat.
This is one of those songs that is guaranteed to get the party jumpin, I have fond memories of this song, it came out when I was a young kid, and every time it came on the radio and my mom and I were in the car driving we would always sing along with it, we love this song.. She might not be southern or Cajun but she can definitely jam with the best of them.
OUTCLASSES all!. Why don't we hear such songs anymore?Talent dried up! Take a million bows lady!
After all these years, I still love this song and performance!
Saw this on holiday in the US in 91 and so blown away my husband and I went to Louisiana in 92 and I came back pregnant so all due to this performance
+Anne Lewis-Lloyd Wow - lol.
Happy for you!
Lol 😉
BEST SONG RECOMMENDATION I’VE EVER HEARD!
Fantastic story! I love my state!
I remember listening to this song after going through brain surgery it was one of the things that helped me to get through the intense pain
Love this and she's so feisty.
Where has all the real talent gone, there is no talent like this anymore, at least very little.
