That Was Your Mother - Live at Hyde Park, London, UK - July 2012

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
 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
 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
 Across the street from The Public
 Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
 To get a little conversation
 Maybe drink a little red wine
 Band to the music of Clifton Chenier
