Paul Simon - That was your mother songtekst

Je score:

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 
Across 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
