Songtexte That Was Your Mother - 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
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
