That Was Your Mother - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)
Written by：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
Check out the cajun girls
Dancing to zydeco

Along come a young girl

She's pretty as a prayerbook
She sweet as an apple
On christmas day

I said good gracious

Could 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
I'm 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

That was your mother
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

To get her in a conversation
Have a drink a little red wine
Dance to the music of clifton chenier
