Paroles de la chanson That Was Your Mother par 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 prayer book
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said, "Good gracious can this be my luck
If that's my prayer book, Lord let us pray"

Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering what a city boy could do
To get her in a conversation
Maybe 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, well 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
