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 | |
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 |
