That Was Your Mother lyrics

Home >> Artists starting with P >> PAUL SIMON Lyrics >> That Was Your Mother

A long time ago, yeahBefore you was born dudeWhen I was still singleAnd life was greatI held this job as a traveling salesmanThat kept me moving from state to stateWell, I'm standing on the corner of lafayetteState of louisianaWondering where a city boy could goTo get a little conversationDrink a little red wineCatch a little bit of those cajun girlsDancing to zydecoAlong come a young girlShe's pretty as a prayerbookSweet as an apple on christmas dayI said good gracious can this be my luckIf that's my prayerbookLord let us prayWell, I'm standing on the corner

of lafayetteState of louisianaWondering where a city boy could goTo get her in a conversationDrink a little red wineDance to the music of clifton chenierThe king of the bayouWell, that was your motherAnd that was your fatherBefore you was born dudeWhen life was greatYou are the burden of my generationI sure do love youBut let's get that straightWell, I'm standing on the corner of lafayetteArcoss the street from the publicHeading down to the lone star cafeMaybe get a little conversationDrink a little red wineStanding in the shadow of clifton chenierDancing the night away
