Down At The Twist And Shout
Written and Recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter
C 
Saturday night and the moon is out
 
I wanna  
G 
head on over to the Twist and Shout
 
Find a  
D7 
two-step partner and a Cajun beat
 
When it  
G 
lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet
C 
Out in the middle of a big dance floor
 
When I  
G 
hear that fiddle wanna beg for more
 
Gonna  
D7 
dance to a band from a-Louisiana  
G 
tonight
 
Well I  
D7 
never have wandered down to New Orleans
G 
Never have drifted down a bayou stream
 
But I  
D7 
heard that music on the radio
 
And I  
G 
swore some day I was gonna go
 
Down  
Em 
Highway 10 past Lafayette
 
To  
A7 
Baton Rouge and I won't forget
 
To  
D7 
send you a card with my regrets
 
Cause I'm never gonna come back h
G 
ome
Repeat #1
 
They got a  
D7 
alligator stew and a crawfish pie
G 
A golf storm blowing into town tonight
D7 
Living on the delta's quite a show
 
They  
G 
got hurricane parties every time it blows
 
And  
Em 
here up north it's a cold cold rain
 
And  
A7 
there ain't no cure for my blues today
 
Except  
D7 
when the paper says Beausoleil
 
Is coming into town baby let's go  
G 
down
Repeat #1
 
Bring your  
D7 
mama bring your papa bring your sister too
G 
They got lots of music and lots of room
 
When  
D7 
they play you a waltz from 1910
 
You  
G 
gonna feel a little bit young again
 
Well  
Em 
you learned to dance with your rock'n'roll
 
You  
A7 
learned to swing with a do-si-do
 
But  
D7 
you learn to love at the fais-so-do
 
When you hear a little Jolie  
G 
Blon
Repeat #1

Who is Mary Chapin Carpenter?
- Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958) is an American country music singer-songwriter. Carpenter spent several years singing in Washington, D.C. clubs before signing in the late 1980s with Columbia Records, who marketed her as a country singer. Carpenter's first album, 1987's Hometown Girl, did not produce any singles, although 1989's State of the Heart and 1990's Shooting Straight in the Dark each produced four Top 20 hits on the Billboard country singles charts.
Carpenter's most successful album to date remains 1992's Come On Come On, which yielded seven charting country singles and was certified quadruple platinum in the US for sales exceeding four million copies. She followed it with Stones in the Road (1994) and A Place in the World (1996), which both featured hit singles. In the 2000s, Carpenter's albums departed both thematically and musically from her early work, becoming less radio-friendly and more focused on societal and political issues. In 2007, she released The Calling. She followed that with The Age of Miracles (2010), Ashes and Roses (2012), the orchestral album, Songs From the Movie (2014) and Sometimes Just the Sky (2018).
Carpenter has won five Grammy Awards and is the only artist to have won four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, which she received from 1992 to 1995. She has sold more than 12 million records worldwide. On October 7, 2012, Carpenter was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Carpenter has performed on television shows such as Late Night with David Letterman and Austin City Limits and on radio shows such as The Diane Rehm Show. She also tours frequently, returning to Washington almost every summer to perform at Wolf Trap.
