That Was Your Mother
作词 : Paul Simon
作曲 : 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
LouisianaWondering 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
ZydecoAlong 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
LouisianaWondering 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
BayouWell, 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
LafayetteAcross 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
