    Story Behind the Song
    This song was inspired by stories my mother used to tell and the Pentecostal church down the street from my grandmother's house in Bogalousa, LA.

    Lyrics
    From Achafalaya,
    To the streets of New Orleans,
    Where wild Chapitoulas
    In headdresses sing

    There's no bigger fun
    To be found in the land
    Than to dance with your baby
    To a zydeco band.

    Now gather 'round!
    All you sisters and brothers,
    To love one another
    Gather 'round!
    Take your baby by the hand
    Dance to the music of a zydeco band.

    When old cousins come up
    From Evangeline
    They some holy rollers,
    Lord, how they keep time!

    Praising and wailing
    Each night until dawn,
    Then out on the bayou,
    They're singing this song.

    Now gather 'round!
    All you sisters and brothers,
    To love one another
    Gather 'round!
    Take your baby by the hand
    Dance to the music of a zydeco band.

    (accordian solo)

    Now gather 'round!
    All you sisters and brothers,
    To love one another
    Gather 'round!
    Take your baby by the hand
    Dance to the music of a zydeco band.

    When it comes to loving
    You know that it's true
    There's only one thing
    One thing will do

    Acadian music,
    Your sweet baby's hand
    Will keep you a happy
    Louisiana man!

    Now gather 'round!
    All you sisters and brothers,
    To love one another
    Gather 'round!
    Take your baby by the hand
    Dance to the music of a zydeco band.
    Dance to the music of a zydeco band.
    Dance to the music of a zydeco band.
