That Was Your Mother - Paul Simon

Lyrics
words to study

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
