First time I became aware of Dewey Balfa was in "Southern Comfort" and I've been hooked ever since,even though I'm English.

The Cajun Mardi Gras Song
"La Danse de Mardi Gras"
The Cajun Mardi Gras Song, known in Cajun French as "La Danse de Mardi Gras" or "La [Vieille] Chanson de Mardi Gras," is a mainstay in Cajun Mardi Gras celebrations, and an important piece in the repertoire of any traditional Cajun Music band.

The Mardi Gras Song is most commonly heard within the context of a traditional Cajun Mardi Gras run, and is played as the Mardi Gras "runners" travel from house to house begging for ingredients for a gumbo. The Mardi Gras Song is not the only song played, but it is an important musical component to a celebration that has roots that are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old.

The Mardi Gras come from all around, all around the center of town.
They come by once per year, asking for charity.
Sometimes it's a sweet potato, a sweet potato or pork rinds.
The Mardi Gras are on a great journey, all around the center of town.

@Facedebouc1 Thank you for the translation. This was used in an ad on Irish television about 20 years ago. It has a haunting air. I heard Cajun live in a pub in Galway, singers and players. it was one of the best nights I ever had in a pub.

Sometimes it's a skinny chicken, or three or four corn cobs.
Captain, captain, wave your flag, let's go to another neighbor's.
Asking for charity for everyone who'll come join us later,
Everyone who'll come join us later at the gumbo tonight!
