  • 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
