| | | Artist: | Paul Simon |
| | Album: | Graceland | | Track: | That Was Your Mother | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 64 | | | | Lyrics: | Paul Simon)
A long time ago, yeah
Before you was born dude
When I was still
single
And life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
That kept me moving
from state to state
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of
Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation
Drink a
little red wine
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
Dancing to Zydeco
Along
come a young girl
She's pretty as a prayerbook
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I
said good gracious can this be my luck
If that's my prayerbook
Lord let us
pray
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering
where a city boy could go
To get her in a conversation
Drink a little red wine
Dance
to the music of Clifton Chenier
The King of the Bayou
Well, that was your
mother
And that was your father
Before you was born dude
When life was great
You
are the burden of my generation
I sure do love you
But let's get that
straight
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
Arcoss the street from The
Public
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a
little red wine
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
