that was your mother

• bir paul simon şarkısı. sözleri...
  
  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 do
  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
