Nathan Abshire and Dewey Balfa Cajun Mardi Gras
Nathan Abshire and Dewey Balfa Cajun Mardi Gras
The Mardi Gras gather once a year1
To ask for charity
They gather once a year
All around the village
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go visit our neighbors
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go on the road
The Mardi Gras ask for the permission to enter
Of every master and every mistress
They ask for the permission to enter
With courtesy
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go visit our neighbors
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go on the road
Give us a little fat chicken
Yes, or a little rice
We invite you to come tonight
And eat some good gumbo
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go visit our neighbors
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go on the road
Would you receive these Mard Gras
This great bunch of big drunks
The Mardi Gras thank you very much
Of your good intentions
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go visit our neighbors
Captain, captain, carry your flag
Let's go on the road
The Mardi Gras come from everywhere
To ask for charity
They gather from everywhere
But mostly from Big Mamou
with Dewey Balfa, Nathan Abshire and Carl Courville in Church Point, LA.
