	作曲 : P. SIMON
	作词 : 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
